 no guarantee that we will be able to take a deduction for any compensation in excess of $1 million that is paid to a covered employee under the Equity Plan or the Restated Equity Plan.

PROPOSAL 4: • Amendment and Restatement of the 1996 Equity Participation Plan year 2026 annual grant from June 2025 to August 2025. We intend to grant awards with respect to the Committed Award Pool (6,000,000 shares) from the Equity Plan for the fiscal year 2026 annual grant cycle no later than August 17, 2025. Because no awards have been granted from the Committed Award Pool as of the date of this proxy statement and the Committed Award Pool has not been allocated to individual employees and remains in the discretion of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and our Chief Executive Officer, the awards to be granted out of the Committed Award Pool to any individual or group cannot be determined at this time. Other than the automatic awards to non-employeedirectors, and the awards to be granted out of the Committed Award Pool, neither the Compensation and Human Resources Committee nor the Board has made any determination to grant any awards to any persons under the Restated Equity Plan as of the date of this proxy statement.
