Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are making this Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders available to shareholders electronically on the Internet. On or about April 4, 2025, we began mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) to our shareholders with instructions on how to access the proxy materials online or request a printed copy of the materials. We believe this electronic process will expedite your receipt of the proxy materials and reduce the cost and environmental impact of the Meeting.
