Nominees

The Board of Directors nominated Eric A. McAfee and Francis P. Barton for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. If elected, they will serve as Class I directors for a three-year term expiring in 2028. The nominees are currently directors of the Company. Please see above for information about our incumbent directors.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them FOR the nominees. If either nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for another nominee designated by the Board of Directors. We are not aware of any reason that the nominees would be unable or unwilling to serve as directors.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present at the meeting, the two director nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board. Proxies may not be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

Except for establishing a quorum, withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the formal election of directors, provided that a Director who receives more "withheld" votes than "for" votes will be requested to comply with the Company's "plurality-plus" policy described in Section 3.A. of the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. This policy requires such director to offer their resignation to the Board and a formal Board determination of whether to accept the resignation based on the process described in the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

RATIFICATION OF AUDITOR</div>

The Board has selected RSM US LLP as the Company’s independent auditor to audit the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Board recommends that stockholders vote for ratification of this appointment. Although ratification by stockholders is neither required by law nor binding on the Board, the Board has determined that it is desirable to request ratification of this selection by stockholders. Notwithstanding the selection, the Board, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of new independent auditors at any time during the year if the Board feels that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. In the event of a negative vote on ratification, the Board will reconsider its selection. An RSM US LLP representative
