                       |     | PwC’s Strong Internal Independence Procedures                                                                             
 and Regulatory Framework. PwC conducts periodic internal quality reviews of its audit work and rotates lead partners      
 at least every five years. PwC is also subject to PCAOB inspections, peer reviews, and PCAOB and SEC oversight.           |

<div align='center'>The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint our independent auditors, and the Audit Committee and the Board are not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee may investigate the reasons for our stockholders’ rejection and consider whether to retain PwC or appoint another independent auditor. Furthermore, even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may appoint a different independent auditor if, in its discretion, it determines that such a change would be in our and our stockholders’ best interests. We expect that representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. For additional information about our independent auditors, including our pre-approval policies and PwC’s aggregate fees for 2024 and 2023, see Selection of Independent Auditors, Independent Auditors’ Fees and Services, and Pre-Approval Policybelow.</div>
