ARS, LLP (“FORVIS”), as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026. FORVIS’ audit report on the financial statements of the Company for the two most recent fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not had any “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with FORVIS on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of FORVIS, would have caused FORVIS to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such periods. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

Although not required by law, our bylaws or otherwise to submit the appointment to a vote by stockholders, the Audit Committee is requesting that the stockholders ratify the appointment of FORVIS because we value our stockholders’ views on our independent public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate practice. Assuming that a quorum is present, the selection of FORVIS will be deemed to have been ratified if more shares are voted in favor of ratification than are voted against ratification or abstain. The Audit Committee will consider the outcome of this vote but is not bound by our stockholders’ vote. It is expected that a representative of
