 vote to have the say-on-pay proposal every year, every two years or every three years, or they may abstain.

After careful consideration of this Proposal 4, the Board has determined that a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and, therefore, the Board recommends that stockholders vote in favor of a three-year interval for the frequency of the non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. In formulating its recommendation, the Board considered the importance of receiving regular input from its stockholders on important issues, such as compensation policies and procedures. The Board recognizes, however, that a well-structured compensation program should include plans that drive the creation of stockholder value over the long term and do not simply focus on short-term gains. Moreover, certain elements of compensation are structured over a multi-year period and the disclosure is made to cover several years.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by our stockholders will be the frequency for the non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers that has been selected by our stockholders. The Compensation Committee values the opinions expressed by our stockholders in these votes and will continue to consider the outcome of these votes in making its decisions on executive compensation. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board or the Company in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.

The next advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay proposals is scheduled to occur at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2031.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

| The Board unanimously recommends a vote for the option of “EVERY 3 YEARS” with respect to the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Proxies will be voted for the option of “EVERY 3 YEARS” unless otherwise specified. |
