#### 2025 PROXY STATEMENT
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STOCKHOLDER OF RECORD AND A “STREET NAME” HOLDER?

Most stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned in street name.

■ Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with Standard Registrar & Transfer Company, Inc., our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

■ Street Name Stockholder. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, fiduciary, or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” In this case, such broker, fiduciary, or other nominee is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, follow the voting directions provided by your broker, bank, or other nominee to vote your shares. Since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares
