 stockholders and the Company to hold such advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers more frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our stockholders. It is expected that the next Say-on-Pay frequency vote will occur at the 2031 Annual Meeting. The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the vote every one, two or three years, or abstaining) and, therefore, stockholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board. Proxies submitted without direction pursuant to this solicitation will be voted for “every one Year.” We recommend a vote on Item 4 to hold Advisory Votes on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers every “One Year.” 21
