 the meeting, the business to be conducted at the meeting, and information about the Company that you should consider when you vote your shares are described in the accompanying proxy statement. At the annual and special meeting, we will present the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the auditors’ report thereon, we will ask the shareholders to set the number of directors at eight and elect eight persons to our board of directors. In addition, we will ask shareholders to appoint Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and to adopt an amendment to our articles to update the advance notice provisions with respect to the address of our registered and records office. Our board of directors recommends the approval of each of the proposals and the election of each director nominee. Such other business will be transacted as may properly come before the annual and special meeting. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to shareholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to the majority of our shareholders over the Internet. This delivery process allows us to provide shareholders with the information they need, while at the same time conserving natural resources and lowering the cost of delivery. On or about April 18, 2025, we intend to begin sending to our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our 2025 annual and special meeting of shareholders and our annual report to shareholders. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote by proxy, online or at the meeting, how to access the virtual annual and special meeting and how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail. We hope you will be able to attend the annual and special meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual and special meeting, we hope you will vote promptly. Information about voting methods is set forth in the accompanying proxy statement. Thank you for your continued support of the Company. We look forward to seeing you at the annual and special meeting. Sincerely, Gerard Barron
