STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS</div>

Stockholder Proposals to Be Included in the Company’s Proxy Statement

Pursuant to and subject to the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders may present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals to us in a timely manner. In order to be included for the 2025 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be received by us at our principal executive offices located at 101 Crawfords Corner Road, Suite 4116, Holmdel, NJ 07733 no later than February 26, 2026, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8.

Stockholder Proposals Not to Be Included in the Company’s Proxy Statement

Stockholders wishing to present proposals for action at an annual meeting apart from proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must do so in accordance with our bylaws. A stockholder must give timely notice of the proposed business to the Secretary at the executive offices referred to above. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be in writing, delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 days or delayed by more than 60 days, from such anniversary date, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 60th day prior to such annual meeting and (b) the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. For each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, the notice to the Secretary must include: (i) a brief description of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear in our books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (iii) the class and number of shares of Company stock that are beneficially owned
