 shareholder proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement must have been received by the Secretary no later than November 13, 2024. Pursuant to our By-laws, notice of any shareholder nominations or other business proposed to be brought before the Meeting (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8) must have been received by January 24, 2025. As no notice of any shareholder proposals, nominations, or other business was received, no business may be brought before the Meeting by any shareholders. If other matters are brought before the Meeting by the Board of Directors, it is intended that proxies will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons exercising the authority conferred by such proxies. FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS The Company welcomes constructive comments or suggestions from its shareholders, both regarding its executive compensation program and regarding other corporate governance or business matters. In the event a shareholder desires to have a proposal formally considered at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and included in the proxy statement for that meeting, the proposal must be in writing and received by the Secretary of the Company on or before November 12, 2025, and must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and the applicable rules of the SEC. In addition, the Company’s By-laws establish procedures for shareholder nominations for election of directors of the Company and bringing business (other than proposals made for inclusion in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) before any annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. Among other things, to bring business before an annual meeting or to nominate a person for election as a director at an annual meeting, a shareholder must give written notice to the Secretary of the Company not less than 90 days (and, in the case of nominations, not more than 120 days) prior to the third Thursday after the first Friday in the month of April next following the last annual meeting held. The notice must contain certain information about the proposed business or the nominee and the shareholder making the proposal as specified in the By-laws. Nominations for election of directors must include a completed D&O questionnaire from the nominee and specified written affirmations and other materials as described in the By-laws. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our By-laws, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.
