How Shares are Treated When No Voting Instructions are Provided

Registered Stockholders. If you are a registered stockholder and you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, your shares will be voted according to the Board of Directors’ recommendations as reflected in the chart above under Information About the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders—Board of Directors Voting Recommendations .

Holders of Shares in “Street” Name. If you hold your shares in street name through a broker and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, it is expected your broker will be able to vote your shares on Proposal II but will be unable to vote your shares on any of the other proposals. See Information About the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders—Voting Shares Held in “Street Name” by a Broker .
