PROPO SAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Our Board currently consists of five directors and is divided into three classes. Each class serves for three years, with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years. Directors in Class I will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. The terms of office of directors in Class II and Class III do not expire until the annual meetings of stockholders held in 2026 and 2027, respectively. At the recommendation of our nominating and governance committee, our Board proposes that each of the two Class I nominees named below, each of whom is currently serving as a director in Class I, be elected as a Class I director for a three-year term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Mr. Lloyd was appointed to the Board on April 24, 2025. He was recommended for appointment to the Board by Arun Jeldi. Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the two individuals nominated for election to our Board at the Annual Meeting receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Shares represented by proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the two nominees named
