 serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified: Debra Hess, T.J. Durkin, Dianne Hurley, Matthew Jozoff, M. Christian Mitchell and Nicholas Smith (each a “Nominee,” and, collectively, the “Nominees”). In connection with the Annual Meeting, our Board has determined to decrease the size of the Board from eight members to six members. See “Corporate Governance - Board Composition and Refreshment” below.

All of the Nominees currently serve on the Board and were elected by the stockholders at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board anticipates that, if elected, each Nominee will serve as a director. However, if any Nominee is unable to accept election, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person or persons as the Board may recommend, unless the Board determines to reduce the number of directors or to leave a vacant seat on our Board in accordance with the Company’s charter and bylaws.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The voting requirements for this proposal are described above in the “General Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting” section of this Proxy Statement.

### DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

#### Information Regarding Director Nominees
We believe that all of the Nominees are intelligent, collegial, insightful, proactive with respect to management and risk oversight, diligent and exercise good judgment. The biographical descriptions below set forth certain information with respect to each Nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting, including the age of each Nominee as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Nominee that led us to conclude that such person should serve as a director.
