Questions and Answers About the Meeting and Voting

#### Who Counts the Votes?
We have engaged Computershare, N.A. as our independent agent to receive and tabulate stockholder votes. Computershare, N.A. will separately tabulate “For” and “Against” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Computershare, N.A. will also act as independent election inspector to certify the results, determine the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots, and perform any other acts required under the DGCL.

#### How Can I Vote?
Most stockholders have a choice of voting in one of four ways:

• via the Internet

• using a toll-free telephone number

• completing a proxy/voting instruction card and mailing it in the postage-paid envelope provided or

• in person at the meeting.

The telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will close at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 20, 2025. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders by use of a control number and to allow you to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” your bank, broker or other nominee will send you a separate package describing the procedures and options for voting your shares. Please read this information carefully. The availability of telephone and Internet voting for "street name" holders will depend on the voting processes of your broker, bank or other nominee. Therefore, the Company recommends you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive. If you hold your shares in “street name,” and wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares. A legal proxy is a written document that will authorize you to vote your shares held in “street name” at the Annual Meeting. Please contact the organization that holds your shares for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy. You must bring a copy of the legal proxy to the Annual Meeting and ask for a ballot when you arrive.
