 financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025. During fiscal year 2024, RSM served as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also provided other audit-related services. (See “Fees Paid to Independent Accountants” below).

The appointment of RSM is being presented to the shareholders for ratification. If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board will consider whether it should select a different independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s bylaws do not require that the shareholders ratify the appointment of RSM as its independent auditors. This proposal is being submitted to the shareholders because the Company believes it is a matter of good corporate practice. The Company expects that representatives of RSM will be present at the annual meeting in person or by video-conference. They will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and it is expected that they will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
