. You may vote all of your shares of capital stock (Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) owned by you as of the Record Date, including (i) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (ii) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee, or other nominee such as a bank.

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING SHARES AS A STOCKHOLDER OF RECORD AND AS A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

A. Some of our stockholders may hold shares of our capital stock in their own name rather than through a broker or other nominee. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, you are considered to be, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was sent directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote virtually at the 2025 Annual Meeting and to vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by Internet, by phone, or by mail to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the 2025 Annual Meeting and vote virtually if you have already voted by proxy.

Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials, together with a voting instruction card, are being forwarded to you from that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee, or nominee how to vote on your behalf and are also invited to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting. Please note that since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares virtually at the 2025 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee, or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2025 Annual Meeting. If this applies to you, your broker, trustee, or nominee will have enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee, or nominee how to vote your shares.

Q. HOW CAN I VOTE MY SHARES WITHOUT ATTENDING THE MEETING?

A. Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you
