We successfully engaged with two of these institutional stockholders, who together represented approximately 5% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2024. While the majority of institutional investors did not respond, those who did respond informed us that our corporate governance and executive compensation practices were acceptable and that they had no concerns with respect to those practices. In conjunction with ongoing investor outreach efforts, the Compensation Committee continues to take actions to enhance our investor communications. In particular, as discussed elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee has engaged FPC to advise the committee on the overall design of our executive compensation program for 2026. These steps are designed to strengthen our relationships with existing and potential investors, solicit feedback from them and take steps to consider and implement, where appropriate, any suggestions we receive from stockholders. Management and the Board, including the Compensation Committee, are committed to engaging with stockholders in a meaningful way to address any concerns or issues that stockholders may have with respect to our corporate governance practices and our executive compensation program.
