 executives in 2024 reflects that financial performance, although total shareholder return did not meet our long-term expectations. Overall, we believe our compensation program operated as designed and is aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. We encourage stockholders to read the section in this proxy statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” which describes the details of our executive compensation program and the decisions made by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee in 2024.

Stockholders are being asked to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on us, our Board, or our Compensation and Human Capital Committee. However, the Committee and Board value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions regarding our named executive officers. We expect the next say-on-pay vote will occur at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2026.

Authorization of this Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote.

You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this matter. An “ABSTAIN” vote will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote for this Proposal 2.

Unless marked otherwise, proxies returned to us will be voted “FOR” Proposal 2. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record you must instruct your broker, banker or other nominee how to vote your shares so that your vote can count for this Proposal 2. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, your shares will be considered “broker non-votes” with regard to this matter. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this Proposal 2.
