 By-Laws below. This summary is not complete and is qualified by the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws, which are incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws summarized in the following paragraphs may have an anti-takeover effect. This may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for its shares.

The Company is authorized to issue 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 266,928,075 shares were outstanding at July 25, 2025.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors of the Company may from time to time declare.

No shares of preferred stock are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

Holders of common stock have one vote per share and have no cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors and the holders of the remaining shares are not able to elect any directors. The Company has adopted a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Under this standard, each director must receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director. This means that the number of votes cast “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee for the director to be elected. In general, each director agrees to tender, and not withdraw, his or her resignation if he or she does not receive a majority of the votes cast at an annual
