| Proposal 2Advisory Vote to Approve Compensation of Named Executive Officers |

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, shareholders are entitled to a non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (sometimes referred to as “say-on-pay”). At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on November 20, 2024, our shareholders expressed support for the Company’s fiscal 2024 NEO compensation programs, with our advisory “say-on-pay” vote receiving over 98% support.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support and approval for our named executive officer compensation, as described under the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement, including the tables that follow which describes in detail our executive compensation programs and the decisions made by the Compensation Committee and our Board. In deciding how to vote on this proposal, the Board encourages you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the tables that follow.

The Board recommends that shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, is hereby approved. The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. However, our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders, and, to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, they will consider any shareholder’s concerns, and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.”
