 by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors because our directors are elected by plurality vote. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS? We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC shortly after the Annual Meeting. WILL THERE BE A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION DURING THE ANNUAL MEETING? As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer appropriate questions submitted by stockholders prior to and during the Annual Meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, after the completion of the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than as a “guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?” will be permitted to submit questions prior to and during the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things: • irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting; • related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; • related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation; • related to personal grievances; 7
