 Claire, Martijn Dekker and Jonathan Siegler. Upon the expiration of the current term for each of the Class I directors, Class II directors and Class III directors, such directors may be re-elected, and the re-elected directors of such respective class shall serve terms expiring upon the third annual meeting of stockholders following their respective years of election. Following such time as the Company is no longer a “controlled company” pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(c), the classification of our Board shall terminate, and each director shall be elected to serve a term of one year, with each director’s term to expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders following each such director’s election.

Messrs. Hébert and Hulme have been nominated by the Board for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. If elected at the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Hébert and Hulme will serve until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until their death, resignation or removal.

The nominees have consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as directors if re-elected. If, however, either or both of Messrs. Hébert and Hulme are unavailable for re-election, your proxy authorizes us to vote for a replacement nominee(s) if the Board names such a replacement(s). As an alternative, the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Proxies may not be voted for a greater number of persons than the nominees presented.

A brief biography of the director nominees and each director whose term will continue after the Annual Meeting is set forth below under “ Information Regarding Director Nominees and Continuing Directors .” The biographies below include information regarding specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each director nominee, as well as the directors not up for re-election, that led the Board to determine that such individual should serve as a member of the Board as of the date of this Proxy Statement and should be a nominee for re-election at the Annual Meeting. The Board does not currently maintain a nominations committee based on an exemption from Nasdaq Listing Rules for “controlled companies.” See “ Information Regarding the Board and Corporate Governance – Director Independence .”

#### Vote Required
The proposal regarding the re-election of two Class II directors requires the approval of a plurality of votes cast by holders of shares of our common stock present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors
