<div align='center'>PROPOSAL TWO: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</div>

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), our stockholders are entitled to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules. Please read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for additional details about our executive compensation program.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

We believe that our compensation policies and procedures are intended to be aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the compensation committee or the Board. However, the Board and compensation committee value the opinions of our stockholders, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns, and the compensation committee will consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval, on a nonbinding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS</div>
