 instructions given thereon. A properly executed proxy without specific voting instructions will be voted as recommended by the Board: FOR each director nominee; FOR proposals two, three, four, five and six; and AGAINST the stockholder proposal (seven), each as described in this proxy statement.

Any stockholder whose shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in street name) will receive instructions from the broker, bank or other nominee that must be followed in order to have his or her shares voted.

### SHAREHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
Only holders of record of common stock at the close of business on March 28, 2025, the record date for the Annual Meeting, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the close of business on that date, 50,867,939 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Holders of common stock will each be entitled to one vote per share of common stock held on that date.

Under the DGCL, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

The NYSE permits brokers to exercise discretionary voting authority on “routine” matters if the broker has not received specific voting instructions. The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025 (proposal two) is the only matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting as to which brokers will be permitted to vote uninstructed shares. Brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients with respect to the director nominations and other proposals will not be able to exercise discretion to vote on those director nominations and proposals and those shares will not be counted as voting for or against the matter or “entitled to vote” on
