 on your proxy card, or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Please note that even if you plan to virtually attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit a proxy in advance to ensure your shares are represented. Your voting in person (virtually) at the 2025 Annual Meeting will automatically result in the revocation of any previously submitted proxy. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting, and you will be assigned a virtual control number in order to vote your shares during the 2025 Annual Meeting. What are the Board’s recommendations on how I should vote my shares? The Board recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

| ■ | Proposal 1: FOR all of the nominees for election as directors named on the enclosed proxy card. |

| ■ | Proposal 2: FOR the advisory vote to approve executive compensation. |

What are broker non-votes and how will they affect voting? Under applicable NYSE rules, brokers holding shares of our Class A common stock for beneficial owners in nominee or “street name” must vote those shares according to the specific instructions they receive from the beneficial owners. However, brokers or nominees holding shares for a beneficial owner who do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner may not under the NYSE’s rules have discretionary voting power on non-routine matters. In these cases, if no specific voting instructions are provided by the beneficial owner, the broker may not vote on non-routine proposals. This results in what is known as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes may arise in the context of voting for the proposals related to the election of directors and the approval of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation because such proposals are considered non-routine matters. Unless specific voting instructions are provided by the beneficial owner, the broker will be unable to vote for these proposals. Accordingly, we urge stockholders who hold their shares through a broker or other nominee to provide voting instructions so that your shares of common stock may be voted on these proposals.
