 certain routine matters. The ratification of the appointment of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter for which banks and brokers may vote without specific instructions from their customers, but banks and brokers do not have the authority to vote for the election of directors or the 2025 Incentive Plan. As such, if you own your shares through a bank or broker and do not provide specific voting instructions to the bank or broker or do not obtain a proxy to vote those shares, then your shares will not be voted on these matters (“broker non-votes”). Voting Eligibility. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date, March 14, 2025 , are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting of shareholders and to vote the common shares that they held on the record date at the meeting. On the record date, our voting securities outstanding consisted of 4,940,991 common shares, $2 par value, each of which is entitled to one vote at the meeting. Quorum . Shareholders, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, holding shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Company are necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. Abstaining votes and broker non-votes will be counted as “present” for purposes of determining whether a quorum has been achieved at the meeting. Voting Required. The vote required to approve each proposal is as follows: • Director nominees who receive the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in favor of nor against any nominee and, therefore, have no effect on this proposal. • Approval of the 2025 Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the proposal. • Approval of the proposal to ratify the selection of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Banks or brokers holding shares for which no voting instructions were received may exercise their discretionary voting authority for this proposal. If any other matter properly comes before the meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment. We do not know of any other matters
