 direct your broker, bank, or nominee how to vote your shares by following their instructions which are included with this proxy, if applicable.

► CAN MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT RETURN THE PROXY CARD AND DO NOT ATTEND THE MEETING VIRTUALLY?

If you hold shares in street name and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, or nominee, your shares will not be voted on any proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non-vote”). Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote shares held in street name on “routine” matters but not on “non-routine” matters. Proposals to ratify the appointment of the independent auditor are generally considered “routine” matters. Proposals to elect directors are “non-routine” matters.

If you do not vote the shares held in your name, your shares will not be voted. However, the Company may vote your shares if you have returned a blank or incomplete proxy card.

► HOW DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?

Our Board recommends that you vote FOR each of the director nominees set forth in this proxy statement and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Cherry Bekaert LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

► HOW DO I VOTE?

You may vote using any of the following methods:

Virtually at the Annual Meeting:

You may vote at the Annual Meeting either by virtually attending the meeting yourself or authorizing a representative to virtually attend the meeting on your behalf by providing them your virtual Annual Meeting code. If you are a street holder of shares, you must obtain a proxy from your broker, bank, or nominee naming you as the proxy holder and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot when you vote at the Annual Meeting.
