 PROXY STATEMENT

| QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| 6. |     | What if I return the proxy card to the Company but do not make specific choices? |

If you return a signed, dated, proxy card to the Company without making any voting selections, the Company will vote your shares as follows:

| • |     | “FOR” the election of all director nominees; |

| 7. |     | Could any additional matters be raised at the 2025 Annual Meeting? |

We are not aware of any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting. If any matter not mentioned herein is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies with respect thereto and in accordance with their best judgment.

| 8. |     | What does it mean if I received more than one proxy card? |

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

| 9. |     | How are votes counted? |

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “FOR,” “AGAINST,” abstentions and broker non-votes. A “broker non- vote” occurs when your broker submits a proxy for your shares of Common Stock held in Street name but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from you and does not have the authority to vote on that matter without instructions. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting shares held in Street name, brokers have the discretion to vote those shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. For purposes of these rules, the only routine matter in this Proxy Statement is the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants. Therefore, if you hold your shares in Street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker does not have discretion to vote your shares on any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting except the ratification of the appointment of independent registered public accountants. However, your shares will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, as provided below.
