Stockholder Proposals for the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Stockholders interested in submitting a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials for the annual meeting of stockholders in 2026 may
do so by following the procedures prescribed in SEC Rule 14a-8. To be eligible for inclusion, the Company’s Secretary must receive
stockholder proposals no later than December 31, 2025. Proposals should be sent to the Company, at 700 Louisiana Street, 41
Floor, Houston, TX 77002, Attention: Secretary. Submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee inclusion in the Company’s
proxy statement or form of proxy because certain SEC rules must be met.

In addition, under our by-laws no business may be
brought before a stockholder meeting unless it is specified in the notice of the meeting or is otherwise properly brought before the meeting
by or at the direction of the Board or by a stockholder entitled to vote who has delivered an appropriate notice to the Company’s
Secretary. To be properly brought before such a meeting a stockholder must deliver a written notice to the Company at the address set
forth in the following paragraph of the stockholder’s intention to present a proposal (containing certain information specified
in the by-laws about the stockholder and the proposed action) not less than 60 nor more than 90 days’ prior to the meeting. However,
in the event less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, such notice
to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the fifth day following the day on which such notice is mailed or
such public disclosure was made.

Stockholder proposals with respect to Director nominations
require written notice of your intent to make such a nomination either by personal delivery or by U.S. mail, postage prepaid, to Kenneth
