 same in 2024 as in 2023, and in January 2025 provided salary increases as described below.                                                               |

Based on the foregoing, the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that its treatment of named executive officer compensation continues to be in line with the long-term interests and prospects of the Company and with stockholder interests.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officers’ compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, program, and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion pursuant thereto.

Vote Required

Approval of Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting of the Company. Abstentions will be counted as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, or our Board. Our Board and our Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee will evaluate whether any actions are appropriate to address those concerns. Unless the Board or the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee modifies the determination on the frequency of future “say-on-pay” advisory votes, the next “say-on-pay” advisory vote will be held at our 2028 annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE“FOR”THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SEC
