 specified on the WHITEuniversal proxy card. OUR BOARD URGES YOU TO VOTE ONLY ON THE WHITEUNIVERSAL PROXY CARD FOR OUR BOARD’S PROPOSED CANDIDATES (TIMOTHY J. DUNN AND SUE E. ZEIFMAN) AND AGAINST BOTH TABLE OF CONTENTS STOCKHOLDER ADVISORY PROPOSALS, TO DISREGARD ANY MATERIALS SENT TO YOU BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, THE DISSIDENT GROUP, AND NOT TO SIGN, RETURN, OR VOTE ANY NON-WHITE PROXY CARD SENT TO YOU BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, THE DISSIDENT GROUP. We are confident that both of our director candidates have the right mix of professional accomplishments, experience, skills, and reputation that make each candidate exceptionally qualified to serve as a representative of all stockholders and oversee the management of the Company. We are committed to engaging with our stockholders and continuing to respond to stockholder feedback about the Company, and we believe our candidates are in the best position to oversee the execution of our strategic plan to achieve long-term growth and deliver optimal stockholder value. A majority of the Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of Timothy J. Dunn and Sue E. Zeifman, “FOR” the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, “FOR” the approval of an increase in the number of shares issuable under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, “AGAINST” the advisory stockholder proposal to declassify the Board structure, if properly presented at the Annual Meeting, and “AGAINST” the advisory stockholder proposal to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock, if properly presented at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend our Annual Meeting, please ensure that your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by signing and returning the WHITEuniversal proxy card or by using our Internet or telephonic voting system. A majority of our Board urges you to protect your investment by voting “FOR” the election of both of our director candidates recommended by a majority of the Board, “FOR” each of the Company’s proposals, and “AGAINST” the advisory stockholder proposals on the WHITEuniversal proxy card.
