PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS</div>

On December 31, 2024, our Board consisted of 13 directors. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation classifies the Board into three classes, each having a staggered term expiring at successive annual meetings. Three Class II directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholder (and until their successors shall be elected and shall qualify). The term of our Class I directors, Kent Siegel, Sarah Caygill, Javier Mazon, Jeffrey Moskowitz and John Brown, shall expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The term of our Class III directors, Paul Oroian, Virginia Prodan, Pandji Putra and Robert Dunn shall expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board has nominated the persons named in the table below for election as Class I directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, along with the entire Board, desire to increase the independence of the Board as elections arise each year in the selection process for re-election of independent and non-independent Board members.

Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying proxy, the shares voted pursuant to it will be voted for the persons named below as nominees for election as Class II directors. If, for any reason, at the time of the election, any of the nominees should be unable or unwilling to accept election, such proxy will be voted for the election, in such nominee’s place, of a substitute nominee recommended by the Board to the extent that such substitute nominee exists. However, the Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.

The three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote for them shall be elected as directors.
