 Annual Meeting.

In an uncontested election, a nominee for director shall be elected if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either for or against that director’s election) (Proposal 1). Each share of our common stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Cumulative voting is not permitted.

2025 Proxy Statement 49

#### TABLE OF CONTENTS
The affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required for approval, on an advisory basis, of the company's executive compensation (Proposal 2), to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal 3) and for any other matter that may properly come before the stockholders at the meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, as they are considered present and entitled to cast a vote on a matter at the meeting (even if, in the case of broker non-votes, they are only entitled to vote on Proposal 3). Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be included in the vote totals, and will not be considered "votes cast," and accordingly will have no effect on the outcome of, Proposals 1 through 3.

If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted consistent with the Board's recommendations.

#### Right to Revoke Proxy
If you hold shares of our common stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock in your own name as a holder of record, you may revoke your proxy instructions through any of the following methods:

• notify our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary in writing before your shares of our common stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock have been voted at the Annual Meeting;

• sign, date and mail a new proxy card to First Coast Results, Inc., as the Company’s pre-tabulation agent; or

• attend the annual meeting of stockholders and vote your shares of common stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock in person.

You must meet the same deadline when
