There are three Class II directors whose terms expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Upon the recommendation of our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, our Board of Directors has nominated each of Benjamin Felt, Ronald Shaich, and Theodoros Xenohristos for re-election as Class II directors. Biographical information for each director and director nominee is contained in the following section. If elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting, each director nominee will serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and we have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. If any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of such substitute nominee(s) as the Board of Directors may designate, unless our Board of Directors chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on our Board of Directors. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them "FOR" the election of Benjamin Felt, Ronald Shaich, and Theodoros Xenohristos as Class II directors.

Under our amended and restated bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the three Class II director nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors. You may vote for all the director nominees, withhold authority to vote your shares for all the director nominees or withhold authority to vote your shares with respect to any one or more of the director nominees. Withholding authority to vote your shares with respect to one or more director nominees will have no effect on the election of those nominees. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of the nominees.
