Proposal 2 – Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm</div>

#### Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee of our board of directors selected the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 audit period, and with the endorsement of the board of directors, recommends to our stockholders that they ratify that appointment.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to attend the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee reviews and approves, in advance, the audit scope, the types of non-audit services, if any, and the estimated fees for each category for the coming year.

This included a review of its performance in prior years, as well as its reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing. The Audit Committee has expressed its satisfaction with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in all of these respects.
