 Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, a resolution will be presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. Although the vote is advisory and is not binding on the Compensation Committee, the Board or the Company, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. We refer to this non-binding advisory vote as the “say-on-pay” vote. Consistent with the frequency preference expressed by our stockholders at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, our current policy is to hold a “say-on-pay” vote annually. The next advisory vote on the frequency of the “say-on-pay” vote will be held at the 2029 Annual Meeting. You are asked to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting, on the following resolution on an advisory basis: “Resolved, that the stockholders approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables, and any related tables and disclosure.”
