 your broker, bank or nominee, who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares during the Annual Meeting, unless you request, complete and deliver a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. Your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares.

What will happen if I do not vote my shares?

Shareholders of Record.If you are the shareholder of record of your shares and you do not vote by proxy card or during the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners.If you are the beneficial owner of your shares and you do not provide voting instructions, your broker or nominee may vote your shares only on those proposals on which it has discretion to vote. These record holders can vote your shares only on routine matters and not on non-routine matters. Uninstructed shares whose votes cannot be counted on non-routine matters result in what are commonly referred to as “broker non-votes.”

The election of directors (Proposal No. 1)andthe advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal No. 3)are considered non-routine matters under the rules and regulations promulgated byNASDAQand approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Consequently, brokers may not vote uninstructed shares on these proposals. The ratification of Forvis Mazars, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (Proposal No. 2) is considered a routine matter under the rules and regulations promulgated byNASDAQand approved by the SEC. Consequently, brokers may vote uninstructed shares on this proposal, and we do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. However, for purposes of determining whether a proposal is approved, abstentions and broker non-votes are tabulated separately. The effect of abstentions and broker non-votes depends on the vote required for a particular proposal. See “What vote is required to approve each proposal,” below, for a description of the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes on such proposal
