| A: |     | The Annual Meeting will be held virtually as in prior years. We adopted a virtual meeting format in 2020, and this format has proven over the last five years to allow the same, or perhaps better, opportunity for shareholder participation. This format allows shareholders to participate from anywhere where they have internet connectivity, thus allowing more shareholders to participate regardless of size, location or resources. Shareholders and the Company alike save valuable time and money with this convenient format all while reducing the carbon footprint of our activities. Shareholders may view a live webcast of the Annual Meeting and submit questions digitally prior to and during the meeting at www.meetnow.global/M2SHXR5. Please refer to the "How can I attend the Annual Meeting?" section of the Proxy Statement for more details. |
