PROPOSAL TWO - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2025

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2025 and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, and to perform such other services as the Audit Committee requests. The Audit Committee oversees and is responsible for the appointment, compensation and retention of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is also responsible for approving the services, fees and terms associated with the Company’s retention of its independent registered public accounting firm.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has acted as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2000. In order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be regular rotation of the independent registered public accounting firm. In conjunction with the mandated five-year rotation of the lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its Chair are involved in the selection of the new lead engagement partner. The most recent new lead engagement partner commenced service following the completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Audit Committee believes that the retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

In accordance with a resolution of the Audit Committee, this appointment is being presented to stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not the stockholders ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee may continue to retain the firm or may reconsider its appointment, if the Audit Committee believes it would be in the Company’s best interest. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she wishes to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
