 as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since June 14, 2022. As discussed in the Company’s proxy statement, neither the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the appointment of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, the audit committee is submitting the appointment of EY to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain EY. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of EY. Abstentions will be considered votes against Proposal 2. Broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of Proposal 2. THE PROPONENT MAKES NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025, AND INTENDS TO VOTE HIS SHARES “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL. 13 VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES How do I vote by proxy?
