ote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. Consistent with the recommendation of our board and the preference of our stockholders as reflected in the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future “say-on-pay” votes, our stockholders will have an opportunity annually to cast an advisory vote in connection with compensation for our named executive officers.

We welcome and value input from our stockholders regarding executive compensations plans and programs, as w ell as other matters related to us, our operations and corporate governance. Since our initial public offering, management and our board of directors have maintained open lines of communication with significant stockholders and potential investors. Management interacts with stockholders through investor conferences, quarterly earnings calls, and meetings with potential investors. Any relevant feedback received by management as a result of these stockholder or investor conversations is reported to our board of directors and compensation committee and taken into consideration with respect to ongoing oversight and decision-making activities. In the future, we plan to explore initiation of a more formal engagement process to obtain regular feedback from our stockholders on executive compensation, corporate governance and other matters important to stockholders.

Our compensation committee and board of directors will continue to consider the results of the annual say-on-pay vote and stockholder input when making future decisions regarding executive compensation and continue to monitor our executive compensation program to ensure it aligns the interests of our named executive officers with the interests of our stockholders and adequately addresses any stockholder concerns that may be expressed in future votes. Consistent with the recommendation of our board of directors and the preference of our stockholders as reflected in the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future “say-on-pay” votes, our stockholders will have an opportunity annually to cast an advisory vote in connection with compensation for our named executive officers. Our next non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of “say-on-pay” votes is expected to occur at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.
