<div align='center'>PROPOSAL 2 — ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS</div>

The Board is seeking a shareholder advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation. In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, we are providing shareholders an opportunity to cast a nonbinding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed above pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives shareholders the opportunity to approve or not approve our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

This Say-on-Pay vote is advisory only and not binding on the Company, theHuman Capital andCompensation Committee or the Board. However, the committee and Board will take the outcome of this vote into account when considering future compensation arrangements for our Named Executive Officers.

As advised by our shareholders at the 2024 annual meeting (commonly referred to as a “Say-on-Frequency” vote) and approved by our Board, the Say-on-Pay vote is held annually. The next Say-on-Pay proposal is expected to occur at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.
