The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed, updated and evaluated the Board’s skill and experience matrix and evaluated each of the directors’ qualifications against the Company’s long-term strategic plans. Within this framework, specific items relevant to the Board’s determination for each director are listed in each director’s biographical information beginning on page 24. The directors’ ages are shown as of April 24, 2025. There are no family relationships among our directors or NEOs (which term is the same as and used interchangeably with “Executive Officers”).

#### Identifying New Directors
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives suggestions for new directors from a number of sources, including current Board members and stockholders (when recommended in accordance with the nomination procedures set forth in our By-laws). It also may, in its discretion, employ a third-party search firm to assist in identifying potential candidates. In considering potential candidates for election to the Board, including with respect to incumbent directors and stockholder recommended candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall consider, among other qualifications that it deems appropriate, the factors described above. For more information, please review the "Stockholder Proposals for 2026 Annual Meeting" section of this Proxy Statement.
