PROPOSAL TWO RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025 Our Board and the Audit Committee are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), as the independent public accounting firm to conduct the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Stockholder ratification of such appointment is not required by our Bylaws or any other applicable legal requirement. However, our Board is submitting the appointment of PwC to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to continue to retain PwC for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change should be made. Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make statements if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. On October 12, 2025, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026. Principal Accountant Fees and Services Fees billed by PwC for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are as follows:
