How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”?

If your shares of Voting Stock are held in “street name,” you will need to contact Continental Stock Transfer to receive a control number. You may contact Continental Stock Transfer by phone at (917) 262-2373, or email at proxy@continentalstock.com.

If I hold my shares in street name and fail to provide specific voting instructions to the bank, broker or other institution holding such shares on my behalf, will my shares still get voted?

Not on all matters. If you hold your shares of Voting Stock in street name and want a vote to be cast on your behalf for all proposals described in this Proxy Statement, you must submit your specific voting instructions to the bank, broker or other institution holding such shares on your behalf in response to the voting instruction form you receive from such broker.

What is a “broker non-vote”?

A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a proposal because (i) the broker has not received voting instructions from the shareholder who beneficially owns the shares and (ii) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at its discretion.

Under applicable rules, brokers do not have the authority to elect the director nominees to serve on the Board as Class II directors (Proposal 1). As such, a broker may not vote your shares with respect to such proposal, or any other non-discretionary matters, without your instructions. If your shares are held of record by a broker, we urge you to give instructions to your broker as to how you wish your shares to be voted so you may participate in the shareholder voting on these important matters.

The ratification of appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Co. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal 2) is considered routine under applicable rules. A broker, bank, or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2.

What is the quorum requirement?
