 of our executive compensation plan statement.

Under our executive compensation plan statement, our executive compensation philosophy is to:

Align the interests of our executives with those of the stockholders;

Attract, motivate, reward and retain the top contributors upon whom, in large part, our success depends;

Be competitive with compensation programs for companies of similar size and complexity with whom we compete for talent, including direct competitors;

Provide compensation based upon the short-term and long-term performance of both the individual executive and the Company; and

Strengthen the relationship between pay and performance by emphasizing variable, at-risk compensation that is dependent upon the successful achievement of specified corporate and individual goals.

We urge stockholders to read the “Executive Compensation” section beginning on page24of this Proxy Statement, which describes in more detail the key elements of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that our executive compensation program is appropriately designed to achieve the objectives of our executive compensation philosophy.

We are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting:

Resolved, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion is herebyApproved.

This vote is an advisory vote only and will not be binding on us, our Board or the Compensation Committee and will not be construed as overruling a decision by, or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for Named Executive Officers.

We expect to hold our next advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

At our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders indicated their approval of the recommendation that we solicit a say-on-pay vote on an annual basis (such vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay vote is commonly referred to as a “say-on-frequency” vote). A "say-on-frequency" vote is a non-binding, advisory vote that enables stockholders to express their preference as to how often they would like companies to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation. We have adopted a policy that is consistent with that preference and, accordingly, we are holding a say-on-pay vote on an annual basis. A “say-on-frequency” vote is required every six years, and
