PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</div>

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to act as auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Deloitte has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since November 7, 2023. A representative of Deloitte is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if he or she so desires, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to ratify the selection of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Audit Committee has the direct responsibility to appoint, retain, approve the compensation and oversee the work of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Consequently, the Audit Committee will consider the results of the shareholder vote on ratification, but will exercise its judgment, consistent with its primary responsibility, on the appointment and retention of the Company’s independent auditors.

The directors of the Company unanimously recommend a vote FOR the ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
