ative Vote of a Majority of Votes Cast by Stockholders |

A “majority of the votes cast” means the number of “ votes exceeds the number of “Against” votes. If a nominee who currently is serving as a director does not receive the required vote for re-election, Delaware law provides that such director will continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover” director. However, pursuant to the Company’s Governance Guidelines, each holdover director must tender, or has already tendered, an irrevocable resignation that would be effective upon the Board’s acceptance of such resignation. In that situation, the Company’s Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee would consider the resignation and make a recommendation to the Board about whether to accept or reject such resignation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote. Proposals 1 and 2 are considered non-routine, and therefore banks, brokers and other similar holders of record cannot vote shares on the proposals without your instructions. Thus, abstentions (withheld votes) and broker non-votes will have no effect in determining whether the proposals have been approved. Proposal 3 is considered a routine matter. Thus, banks, brokers and other similar holders of record may vote shares on this proposal without your instructions. As such, there will be no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the meeting will be tabulated by the Inspector of Election from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. 9. Q: Could other matters be voted on at the meeting? A: We do not know of any other business that will be presented at the 2026 annual meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting that are not specifically set forth on the proxy card and in this Proxy Statement, such matters shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting, unless otherwise provided in our Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws”), the Delaware General Corporation Law or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange. None of the members of our Board have informed us in writing that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by us.
