Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires the Company to submit a say-on-frequency advisory resolution to its stockholders at least once every six years; therefore, it is anticipated that the next advisory say-on-frequency vote to determine the frequency of future say-on-pay votes will be presented at our annual meeting of stockholders held in 2031.

We are providing our stockholders with the option of selecting a frequency of one, two, or three years, or abstaining. For the reasons described above, we recommend that our stockholders select a frequency of every “1 YEAR,” which means an annual vote held every year. If a stockholder has no preference, such stockholder may abstain from voting.

Abstentions will count as a vote “against” on this proposal. The Board of Directors expects to be guided by the voting option that receives the greatest number of votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
