 Wierbicki and Daniel Yih, the Class II directors being Leslie Bluhm, James Gordon and Richard Schwartz, and the Class III directors being Neil Bluhm, Jack Markell, Niccolo de Masi and Thomas Winter. In December 2024, the Board appointed Thomas Winter as a Class III director, and in March 2025, the Board appointed Andrew Bluhm as a Class I director and Jack Markell as a Class III director. Each of their biographies and terms are disclosed below. Each of the current Class II directors is standing for re-election at this Annual Meeting.

Each Class II director nominee was recommended to the Board for re-election by the NCG Committee. Each of the Class II director nominees was designated by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement. Each nominee has consented to stand for election, and the Board does not anticipate that any nominee will be unavailable to serve. If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, or chooses not to serve, the Board may nominate a substitute, subject to the rights of the Sellers’ Representative under the Investor Rights Agreement. If that happens, the person named as proxy on the proxy card will vote for the substitute. Alternatively, the Board may either let the vacancy stay unfilled until an appropriate candidate is identified or reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the unfilled seat.

The information presented below regarding each nominee also sets forth specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board to conclude that such individual should serve as a director in light of our business and structure.
