Stockholder Proposals for the 2026 Annual Meeting

Any proposal which a stockholder wishes to have included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to its 2026 Annual Meeting of stockholders must be received by the Company in writing on or before the close of business on December 24, 2025, and the proposal must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, including the proof of ownership requirements of Rule 14a-8(b)(2), and Delaware law. Proposals must be addressed to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices located at One E. Washington Street, Suite 1400, Phoenix, Arizona 85004.

Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with these procedures may result in it not being deemed timely received. Submitting a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that we will include it in our proxy statement. Our Governance Committee reviews all stockholder proposals and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for actions on such proposals.

In addition, under our Bylaws, any stockholder who intends to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors or to propose any business at our 2026 Annual Meeting that is not to be included in the proxy statement, must give notice to our Corporate Secretary between February 11, 2026, and the close of business on March 13, 2026. The notice must include information specified in Rule 14a-19(b) (for director nominees other than the Company’s nominees, if applicable), our Bylaws, including information concerning the nominee or proposal, as the case may be, and information about the stockholder’s ownership of and agreements related to the Company’s stock. If the 2026 Annual Meeting is held more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2025 Annual Meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must submit notice of any such nomination
