All votes will be tabulated by our inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by a broker or other nominee having discretionary power to vote on some matters but not others). Broker non-votes occur when your broker or other nominee submits a proxy for your shares (because the broker or other nominee has received instructions from you on one or more proposals, but not all, or has not received instructions from you but is entitled to vote your shares on a particular “discretionary” matter) but does not indicate a vote for a particular proposal because the broker or other nominee either does not have the authority to vote on that proposal and has not received voting instructions from you, or has discretionary authority but chooses not to exercise it. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.

Vote Required for Each Proposal

The voting requirements for each of the Proposals under consideration at the Annual Meeting to be approved, and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes on each Proposal, are as follows:

| Proposal                                   | Voting Approval Standard                                                                                | Effect of Abstentions             | Effect of Broker Non-Votes        |
| Election of Directors                      | Plurality of the votes cast per Director                                                                | No effect – not counted as a vote | No effect – not counted as a vote |
| Approval of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan | Majority of the votes cast on the proposal                                                              | No effect – not counted as a vote | Counted as a vote against         |
| Ratification of Auditor                    | Majority of the votes cast on the proposal                                                              | No effect – not counted as a vote | No effect – not counted as a vote |
| Adjournment Proposal                       | Majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote | Same effect as a vote against     | No effect – not counted as a vote |
