 one-year frequency for the non-binding stockholder vote relating to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Based on the shareholders preference indicated at the 2024 annual meeting and the continued belief of the Board that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs once every year is the most appropriate for the Company, the Board requests stockholders to vote on the named executive officers’ compensation as described in this Proxy Statement.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives the Company’s stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the Company’s named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

The “say-on-pay” vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, our Board’s compensation committee (the “compensation committee”) or the Board. The Board and compensation committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there are any significant votes against any named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, the Board will consider stockholders’ concerns and the compensation committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. However, neither the Board nor the compensation committee will have any obligation to take such actions. The “say-on-pay” vote is currently proposed once every year.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of our common stock present (virtually) in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal is needed to approve this proposal. Abstentions count as votes against the proposal.

Abstentions count as votes against the proposal.
