2026 Annual Meeting, but not to include the proposal in our proxy statement, or to nominate a person for election as a director, must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws require, among other things, that our Corporate Secretary receive written notice from the shareholder of record of their intent to present such proposal or nomination not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the corporation’s proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, we must receive notice of such a proposal or nomination for the 2026 Annual Meeting no earlier than the close of business on January 1, 2026 and no later than the close of business on January 31, 2026. The notice must contain the information required by the Bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request to our Corporate Secretary, as well as on EDGAR. In the event that the date of our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after June 10, 2026, then our Corporate Secretary must receive such written notice not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made by us. SEC rules permit management to vote proxies in its discretion in certain cases if the shareholder does not comply with this deadline and in certain other cases notwithstanding the shareholder’s compliance with this deadline. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these or other applicable requirements. In addition to shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of nominees other than our nominees in connection with our 2026 Annual Meeting must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule14a-19under the Exchange Act no later than April 11, 2026. 57
