Introduction

Our Board has nominated Louis Foreman and Nicola Caiano to serve as Class III members of our Board, with such term to expire at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders or until the appointment, election and qualification of their respective successors. The biographies of each of Messrs. Foreman and Caiano is set forth in the section titled “ Directors and Executive Officers” above.

The Board believes that each of the foregoing individuals are qualified to serve as members of the Board due to their extensive executive management and leadership experience.

Penalties or Sanctions

The Company has been advised that neither Mr. Foreman nor Mr. Caiano has been subject to:

(a) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or

(b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

Vote Required

Our Bylaws provide for a plurality voting standard for the election of directors. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular seat is elected for that seat
