 least one -thirdof the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions and votes withheld will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the 2025 Annual Meeting, but will not be counted as votes cast. As described below under the Q&A “What is a broker non -vote?”, we do not expect that there will be any “broker non -votes” at the 2025 Annual Meeting. What is the effect of an abstain vote or the withholding of a vote? Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. For the election of directors, stockholders may vote “ FOR” a nominee, or “ WITHHOLD” their vote with respect to a nominee. A properly executed proxy marked to “ WITHHOLD” a vote with respect to the election of any or all nominees will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, but will not be considered to have been voted for or against such nominee. Therefore, a proxy marked “ WITHHOLD” with respect to a specific nominee will result in such nominee receiving fewer “ FOR” votes for purposes of determining the nominees receiving the most votes. With regard to Proposals2, 3 and4, a stockholder may vote “ FOR”, “ AGAINST”, or to “ ABSTAIN”. With regard to Proposal5, a stockholder may vote “ 1 YEAR,” “ 2 YEARS”, “ 3 YEARS”, or “ ABSTAIN”. If a stockholder abstains from voting on Proposals2, 3 and4, then the shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder shall be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote with respect to such matter and shall have the effect of a vote AGAINSTthe matter. If a stockholder abstains from voting on Proposal5, such abstention will be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will have no impact on the frequency vote for Proposal 5. What is a broker non-vote ? A “broker non -vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner has discretionary authority to vote on “routine” matters brought before a stockholder meeting, but the
