 executive offices not less than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the Company’s proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, advance written notice for the nomination of a director to the Board of Directors or proposal for other business to be brought before the 2026 annual meeting must be provided by a stockholder to the Company no later than December 12, 2025. If the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 60 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, in order to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered not later than the close of business on the 10 day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. Any such stockholder’s notice must comply with the provisions and requirements of the Company’s Bylaws. These requirements apply to all stockholder proposals and nominations, without regard to whether the proposals or nominations are required to be included in the Company’s proxy statement or form of proxy.

In addition, under the SEC’s universal proxy rules, a stockholder intending to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees for the 2026 Annual Meeting must provide notice to the Company in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 22, 2026, except that, if the 2026 Annual Meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting, then such notice must be provided by the later of 60 days prior to the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is first made by the Company. The notice requirements under the SEC’s universal proxy rules are in addition to the applicable advance notice requirements under the Company’s by-laws as described above.

Nothing in this Proxy Statement will be deemed to require the Company to include in our proxy statement and proxy relating to an annual meeting any stockholder proposal that does not meet all of the requirements for inclusion established by the Securities and Exchange Commission in effect at the time such proposal is received.
