 “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of HORNE LLP as our independent registered public accountants for 2025.

Street Name. For shares held in a broker’s name (sometimes called “street name” or “nominee name”), you must provide voting instructions to your broker. If you do not provide voting instructions, the shares will not be voted on any matter for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (these are generally non-routine matters). A vote that is not cast because instructions are not provided is called a “broker non-vote.” We will treat broker non-votes as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but we will not consider broker non-votes present for purposes of calculating the vote on a particular matter, nor will we count them as a vote FOR or AGAINST a matter or as an abstention on the matter. The approval of the Authorized Shares Increase Amendment and the ratification of our appointment of our independent registered public accountants are generally considered routine matters for broker voting purposes, but none of the other proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting are considered routine.

Abstention. Under Mississippi law, an abstention by a shareholder either present in person at the annual meeting or represented by proxy is not a vote “cast” and is not counted “for” or “against” the matter subject to the abstention.

#### Required Vote for Each Proposal
The required vote on each proposal to be voted on at the 2025 Annual Meeting is as follows:

• Directors are elected by plurality vote. Candidates up for election who receive the highest number of votes cast, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

The board has adopted a “majority voting” policy that applies in an uncontested election of directors. Under this policy, any nominee for director who receives a greater number of “withhold” votes from his or her election than votes “for” election, although still elected as a director, must promptly tender his or her resignation. The board will then determine whether to accept the resignation, and the board’s decision will be publicly disclosed. This policy does not apply in contested elections. More information about our majority voting policy is set forth above in the Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors section under the heading “Governing Documents and Practices.”

• The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast is required for the approval or ratification, as applicable, of (1) the Authorized Shares Increase Amendment, (2) the Director Excul
