 votes cast “FOR” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that director. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” when voting for each of the directors. Your broker may not vote your shares on this proposal unless you give voting instructions. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the vote. Proposals 2, 3 and 4 require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the 2025 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” when voting for each of these proposals. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes cast “AGAINST” each such proposal and broker non-votes, if any, have no effect on the vote. 11. WHAT HAPPENS IF I HOLD SHARES IN STREET NAME AND DO NOT SUBMIT VOTING INSTRUCTIONS? WHAT IS A BROKER NON-VOTE? If your shares are held in street name, under NYSE rules, brokers are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may not vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions. Therefore, unless you provide specific voting instructions, your shares may not be represented or voted at the meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item (or has discretionary voting power but chooses not to exercise it) and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Under the NYSE rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, if brokers do not receive specific instructions, brokers may in some cases vote the shares in their discretion, but are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may elect not to vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions.
