If you have a question pertaining to the business of the Annual Meeting, you must submit it in advance of the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ATO2026 . Questions may be submitted until 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 1, 2026. You should have your proxy card or voting instruction form in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions. Each shareholder will be limited to no more than one question. Questions pertinent to the business of the Annual Meeting will be read aloud and answered, subject to time constraints, after the end of the business portion of the Annual Meeting.

#### Are there any other voting matters?
Proxy Information. On or about December 19, 2025, we began distributing to each shareholder entitled to vote at the annual meeting either (i) the Meeting Notice or (ii) this proxy statement, a proxy card, and our 2025 Annual Report. Shares represented by a properly executed and timely received proxy will be voted in accordance with instructions provided by the shareholder. If a properly executed and timely received proxy contains no specific voting instructions, the shares represented by any such proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. Proxies are solicited by the Board.

Shareholders Entitled to Vote. Shareholders of record of our common stock at the close of business on the record date of December 12, 2025, are eligible to vote on the internet, by telephone, by mail, or at the virtual annual shareholder meeting using the unique control number assigned to him or her. On that date, 161,747,997 shares of common stock were outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on the items of business to be considered at the annual meeting. A list of our shareholders as of the record date will be available and may be inspected for a period of at least 10 days prior to the virtual annual meeting. If you wish to inspect the shareholder list, contact our Investor Relations Department at (972) 855-3729.
