 serve for a term expiring on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028 and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or his earlier death, resignation or removal. Each Director Nominee currently serves on our Board of Directors. Vote Required Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bylaws, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, which means that the number of shares voted “for” a nominee’s election exceeds the number of shares voted “against” such nominee’s election. Abstentions and broker non-votesare not counted as votes cast either “for” or “against” a nominee’s election. Any incumbent director who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election must tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would then make a recommendation to the Board of Directors about whether to accept the resignation. The Board of Directors would consider and act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote, and thereafter would promptly disclose its decision whether to accept the director’s tendered resignation (and, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation) in a press release. Should any Director Nominee become unable or unwilling to serve, the proxy holders may vote the proxies for the election, in his stead, of any other person the Board of Directors may nominate or designate. Each Director Nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. Recommendation of the Board of Directors

| The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR each Director Nominee. |
