Proposal 1: To vote on the election of Steven W. Eline and Bruce L. Schindler as Class III directors to serve on the Company Board

A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director. Accordingly, the withholding of votes and “broker non-votes” will have no impact on the outcome of the vote on Proposal 1.

Proposal 2: Ratify the appointment of YHB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2025

A majority of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve the ratification of the appointment of YHB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as described in Proposal 2. Accordingly, an abstention or a “broker non-vote” with respect to Proposal 2 will have no impact on the outcome of Proposal 2.

If any other matter is presented, your proxy will vote your shares in accordance with your proxy’s best judgment to the extent permitted by Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act. At present, we know of no other business that is intended to be acted on at the Annual Meeting.
