 that measure our progress against the goals of our strategic and operating plans, as well as performance against our peers. Stockholders are urged to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and disclosure, which discuss how our compensation design and practices reflect our compensation philosophy. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the Board believe that our compensation design and practices are effective in implementing our guiding principles. In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following non-binding resolution: “RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the 2024 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Summary Compensation Table, and other compensation tables and disclosure.” The approval of this non-binding proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Since this proposal is an advisory vote, the result will not be binding on our Board or Human Resources and Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program.

ADVISORY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 26
