 Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditors. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee shall review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors as provided under the Audit Committee Charter.

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm. The policy generally requires pre-approval of specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual, explicit, case-by-case basis before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee’s members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

#### Vote Required
The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this matter at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority to vote your shares on this Proposal No. 2, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. An abstention will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the ratification of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
