#### ITEM 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board is divided into classes, so not all director positions are up for election every year. The Board has nominated the following candidates for director:

| Name                   |     | Board Member Since |     | Primary Occupation                    |     | Age |
| Hon. William J. Flores |     |               2023 |     | Chair & CEO, Serolf Technologies LLC. |     |  71 |

In recommending this slate of candidates the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has taken into account the nominee’s experience, his expertise, his ethics and standards, and the diversity of views that this slate of candidates represents. A description of the candidate’s individual qualifications can be found in the following section “Director Nominees”.

Each nominee has indicated approval of his nomination, and his willingness to serve if elected. If any nominee for election becomes unable to serve before the Meeting (which we do not expect), the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee or nominees, as may be designated by the Board prior to the Meeting.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEE LISTED ABOVE .
