. In other words, because there are no other nominees for election as directors other than the persons named in the enclosed proxy card, and assuming each of those persons receives at least one vote, all such directors will be re-elected to our Board, provided that a quorum is present at the Meeting. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted for which no contrary instruction is given, if authority to do so is not withheld, “FOR” the election of each of the nominees named above.

Only votes “FOR” will affect the outcome. Broker non-votes and withheld votes will have no effect on this proposal.

| THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES UNDER PROPOSAL 1. |

PROPOSAL 2

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, the Company is providing stockholders with an advisory (non-binding) vote on compensation programs, which is sometimes referred to as “say on pay,” for our named executive officers, Messrs. Zachary K. Bradford, Gary A. Vecchiarelli, S. Matthew Schultz, Scott E. Garrison, and Taylor Monnig. Accordingly, you may vote on the following resolution at the 2025 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

This vote is non-binding. The Board intends to consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions and, in particular, to consider any significant negative voting results to the extent it can determine the cause or causes for such votes. The Board has determined that the Company will hold future advisory votes on executive compensation every two years, which frequency was approved by our stockholders at our 2021 Annual Meeting.

Stockholders are encouraged to read the accompanying compensation tables and the related narrative disclosures for more information about the Company’s executive compensation program.

VOTE REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD

Approval of this proposal requires a majority of the votes cast, affirmatively or negatively, whether in person or by proxy (i.e., more “FOR” votes than “AGAINST” votes).

Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal.
