Other Matters

Attending the Annual Meeting

You may attend the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder as of the Record Date. If you are a stockholder and would like to attend the Annual Meeting, please be prepared to show proof of your stock ownership as of the Record Date (e.g., by bringing a copy of your proxy card or an account statement showing your name and your shares) along with a proper form of photo identification, otherwise you may not be admitted. To ensure a smooth security check-in, and to allow the meeting to begin promptly, please arrive no later than thirty minutes prior to the scheduled start of the Annual Meeting (if you have not arrived by that time you may be turned away). To allow for stockholders to participate in the Annual Meeting the Company reserves the right to restrict the admission of guests or other attendees who are not stockholders. For security purposes, no cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, backpacks, briefcases or packages will be permitted in the meeting room or adjacent areas, and other items will be subject to search.

Notice and Access

We use the SEC notice and access rule that allows us to furnish our proxy materials to our stockholders over the internet instead of mailing paper copies of those materials. As a result, beginning on or about April 23, 2025, we sent our stockholders by mail a notice of internet availability of proxy materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the internet and vote online. This notice is not a proxy card and cannot be used to vote your shares. You will not receive paper copies of the proxy materials unless you request the materials by following the instructions on the notice or on the website referred to on the notice. Using notice and access allows us to reduce our printing and mailing costs and the environmental impact of our proxy materials.

Cost of Proxy Solicitation
