 Pay.” The Say on Pay vote is a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement, including the compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure. Although non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation programs.

We strongly believe that our ability to retain and motivate our senior management is essential for us to execute our business plan. We place great importance on the consistency of our senior management in achieving results that we believe will enhance long-term stockholder value.

Stockholders are urged to read the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement, including the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure, which discusses our compensation philosophy, policies and procedures, as well as outlines the compensation of our named executive officers in fiscal 2024. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the Executive Compensation section are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving its goals and that the compensation of our named executive officers in fiscal 2024 reflects and supports these compensation policies and procedures.

Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to approve the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation tables and related material disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.”
