Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table

We generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore do not specifically align our performance measures with “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit Committee has appointed BPM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, and our stockholders are being asked to ratify this appointment. Our organizational documents do not require our stockholders to ratify the appointment of BPM as our independent registered public accounting firm. We are submitting the appointment of BPM to our stockholders for ratification because we believe it is a matter of good corporate practice. The Audit Committee will take your vote on this proposal into consideration when appointing our independent registered public accounting firm in the future. However, even if the stockholders ratify the appointment of BPM, the Audit Committee may in its sole discretion terminate the engagement of BPM and direct the appointment of another independent auditor at any time during the year, although it has no current intent to do so.

Representatives of BPM are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. If present, such representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting if they wish and they will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote

#### FOR
the ratification of the appointment of BPM LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
