 are being nominated for election to serve as directors of the Company for a term commencing on the date of the Annual Meeting and continuing until the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company or until their respective successor or successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal from office. Each of the above-listed nominees for election at the Annual Meeting is currently serving as a director of the Company.

#### Election Procedures
Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, the election of directors will require a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

This means that the four (4) nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. If you “withhold” authority to vote with respect to one or more director nominees, your vote will have no effect on the election of such nominees. “Withhold” votes and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect of the election of the nominees. In accordance with the Michigan Business Corporation Act, shareholders are not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors (or for any other decision).

Except as otherwise specified, proxies will be voted for the election of the four (4) nominees. If a nominee becomes unable or unwilling to serve, proxies will be voted for such other person, if any, as shall be designated. However, we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director if elected.

If a nominee becomes unavailable to serve as a director for any reason before the election, the shares represented by proxy will be voted for such other person, if any, as may be designated by the Company’s Board of Directors. Alternatively, in lieu of designating a substitute, the Company’s Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors of the Company. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the Class II nominees listed above will be unavailable to serve as a director. All of the Class II nominees listed above have consented to being named herein and to serve if elected.

Biographical information for each of the above-listed nominees, as well as the other current directors of the Company not up for reelection at the Annual Meeting, including their principal occupation for the last five or more years, age and length of service as a director, follows.

We recommend that you vote FOR the election of each of the above-listed nominees for election to the Board.
