 accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. EY has been engaged since February 15, 2003.

Board’s Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.While we are not required by law to obtain such ratification from our shareholders, the Board believes it is good practice to do so. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Representatives of EY are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement should they desire to do so.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to ratify the appointment of EY. If shareholders fail to ratify the appointment of EY, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

The people designated in the proxy and voting instruction card will vote your shares represented by proxy FOR ratification unless you include instructions to the contrary.
