 date and have given a properly authorized proxy without specifying any voting instructions, and the proxy is not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, then the Common Shares represented by such proxy will be voted:

• FOR the election of the eleven trustee nominees named in this Proxy Statement as trustees;

• FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

• FOR the advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs as described in this Proxy Statement.

As to any other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof, the persons named as proxy holders on your proxy card will vote the Common Shares represented by properly submitted proxies in their discretion.

If you hold your Common Shares in "street name" through an intermediary, then under NYSE rules, your intermediary may vote your Common Shares without receiving instructions from you only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. All other matters that are to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting are considered to be "non-routine" matters. If you hold your shares in street name and do not give the intermediary specific voting instructions on the election of trustees or the advisory vote regarding the compensation of our NEOs, your shares will not be voted on those items, and a broker non-vote will occur. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the voting results for any of the proposals.
