, your broker has the authority to vote on your behalf with respect to Proposal 2 (the ratification of the selection of the accounting firm) and Proposal 5 (approval of amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase authorized shares of common stock). How many votes are needed to approve each Proposal?

| ● | Proposal 1 - Election of Directors |

Director nominees in uncontested director elections (when the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of board seats) are elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the shares of common stock cast for this proposal (excluding abstentions) in person or by proxy. This means the number of votes cast “For” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “Against” that nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. 6

To be approved, the ratification of the selection of Freed Maxick P.C. as our independent auditors for our 2025 fiscal year, must receive “For” votes from the holders of amajority of shares of common stock cast for this proposal, including abstentions.

| ● | Proposal 3 – Advisory vote on executive compensation. |

The advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal 3) will not be binding on either the Board of Directors or the Company. However, the Company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee will take into account the outcome of the stockholder vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting when considering future executive compensation arrangements. To the extent there is a significant negative vote, we would communicate directly with stockholders to better understand the concerns that influenced the vote. The Board and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee would consider constructive feedback obtained through this process in making future decisions about executive compensation programs. However, your non-binding advisory votes described in Proposal 3 will not be construed (1) as overruling any decision by the Board of Directors, any Board committee or the Company relating to the compensation of the named executive officers or (2) as creating or changing any fiduciary duties or other duties on the part of the Board of Directors, any Board committee or the Company.

| ● | Proposal 4 – Advisory vote on frequency of future 
 advisory votes on executive compensation.         |

The advisory vote on frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation (Proposal 4) will not be binding on either the Board of Directors or the Company. However, the Company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee will take into account the outcome of the stockholder vote on this proposal
