Three directors will be elected at the annual meeting. The Board has nominated Ted A. Fernandez, Robert A. Rivero and Alan T.G. Wix, each are existing directors, for the positions. If elected, Messrs. Fernandez, Rivero and Wix will serve a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting in 2028. You can find more information about Messrs. Fernandez, Rivero and Wix below.

Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy, it is the intention of the proxy holders to vote the shares represented by each properly executed proxy for the election of the nominees.

Since this election is not contested, the Board’s nominees for director will be elected only if the votes cast for each such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election. If Messrs. Fernandez, Rivero and Wix are not re-elected, the Company bylaws provide that they must tender their resignation to the Board. The Nomin
