 developments, corporate governance trends, and the skills and characteristics that the Board may find valuable in the future in light of the Company’s strategic and anticipated business needs. Gina Boswell was elected to the Board in May 2025. In recruiting Ms. Boswell, the NGCRC retained a search firm to help identify director prospects. The NGCRC reviewed and evaluated the qualifications of all candidates identified that were referred to them through this search process. Spencer Fleischer, who has served on the Board since 2015, is not being re-nominated for re-election in accordance with the Board’s retirement age policy and, therefore, will be retiring from the Board as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the proxy as proxyholders intend to vote all proxies FOR the election of each of the nominees, as listed below. If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director, the discretionary authority provided in the enclosed proxy will be exercised to vote for a substitute candidate designated by the Board, unless the Board chooses to reduce its own size. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or will decline to serve if elected. Proxies cannot be voted for more than 11 persons since that is the total number of nominees.

 considered judgment that the background, skills, experience, and attributes of each of the nominees make them the best candidates
