 June 2026. A triennial vote also provides the Company with additional time to engage with shareholders and meaningfully and thoughtfully respond to shareholders’ views.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by shareholders will be considered the frequency for the advisory vote to approve executive compensation that has been selected by shareholders. However, this advisory vote is not binding on the Company or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation. Because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company or our Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option considered approved by our shareholders. After consideration of the advisory votes, if the Company determines that a three-year frequency is appropriate, then the next executive compensation advisory vote will occur in 2028.

The non-binding advisory vote regarding how frequently the Company should seek from its shareholders a non-binding advisory vote to approve executive compensation requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on this proposal at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast for this purpose and will not affect the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" CONDUCTING FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EVERY THREE YEARS.

Although current law, rules, and regulations, as well as the Audit Committee Charter, require the Audit Committee to engage, retain, and supervise our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board considers the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm to be an important matter of stockholder concern and is submitting the selection of Grant Thornton for ratification by stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of Grant Thornton, the Audit Committee will review our relationship with
