 our common stock were issued and outstanding. What constitutes a quorum? The presence in person or by proxy of the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes,if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. What is the difference between a “stockholder of record” and a “street name” holder? These terms describe how your shares are held. If your shares are registered directly in your name with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“EQ”), our transfer agent and registrar, you are a “stockholder of record.” If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee as a custodian, you are a “street name” holder. If you are a “street name” holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and your broker or nominee is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person; however, in order to vote your shares in person, you must provide us with a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other stockholder of record. If you are a “street name” holder, in order to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you must first obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee reflecting the number of shares you held as of the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, your name and email address. You must submit a request for registration to EQ: (1) by email to proxy@equiniti.com; (2) by facsimile to 718-765-8730;or (3) by mail to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, Attn: Proxy Tabulation Department, 55 Challenger Road, 2 ndFloor, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 07660. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received by EQ no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 24, 2025. How do I vote? If you are a registered stockholder, meaning that your shares are registered in your name, you have four voting options. You may vote:
