 join Stephano Slack LLC, which firm was engaged by the Company as described above.

In deciding to appoint Stephano Slack LLC, the Audit Committee reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with Stephano Slack LLC and concluded that Stephano Slack LLC has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Vote Required

The selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, will be ratified upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote on such matter. However, brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. The ratification of the selection of Stephano Slack LLC as our auditors for the year ending December 31, 2025, by our stockholders is not required under the DGCL, but the results of this vote will be considered by the Audit Committee in selecting auditors for future years. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, at its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
