#### PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board presently consists of seven directors.

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the election of seven directors. The seven current directors will be up for election at the Annual Meeting. For your review and consideration, a biography of each nominee for director is contained in this proxy statement under the section titled “Corporate Governance, Director Nominees.” The term of office of each person elected to be a director of the Company will be until the annual meeting of the stockholders in 2025 and until such person’s successor is duly elected and qualifies. If any unforeseen event prevents one or more of the nominees from serving as a director, your votes will be cast for the election of any substitute or substitutes nominated by the Board. In no event, however, can the proxies be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxies will vote for the election of the nominees listed below to serve as directors of the Company.

#### Vote Required
Directors are elected by a plurality of all the votes cast by those holders present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

For purposes of the vote on this Proposal 1, abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. However, if you do not instruct your broker how to vote on this proposal and your broker does not vote those shares, your shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will have no effect on this Proposal 1. Stockholders may vote “FOR ALL NOMINEES,” “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY FOR ALL NOMINEES” or “FOR ALL EXCEPT” the director(s) whose name(s) you mark in the proxy card with respect to this Proposal 1.

We expect this Proposal 1 will not be considered a routine matter under applicable stock exchange rules. Accordingly,
