 shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee (i.e., in "street name"), check your proxy card to see if you can vote by telephone.

3. You can vote your proxy via the internet. If you are a registered stockholder, you can vote via the internet by following the instructions included on the proxy card. If your shares of common stock are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive instructions from them on how to vote your shares.

4. You can vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, we will give you a ballot at the Annual Meeting. Note, however, that if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from the holder of your shares indicating that you were the beneficial owner of those shares on March 14, 2025, the record date for voting at the Annual Meeting, and that you are authorized to vote such shares. You are encouraged to vote by proxy prior to the Annual Meeting even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

#### Revoking Your Proxy
If you are a registered stockholder, you can revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting by:

• submitting another proxy with a later date;

• giving written notice of the revocation of your proxy to the Company’s Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting; or

• voting during the Annual Meeting. Your proxy will not be automatically revoked by your attendance at the Annual Meeting; you must actually vote during the Annual Meeting to revoke a prior proxy.

If your shares are held in street name, you should follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record to be able to participate in the Annual Meeting.
