 is currently a director who was previously elected by our stockholders at our 2024 annual meeting. It is our policy to encourage nominees for director to attend the annual meeting. All of our directors who were then nominees or serving attended the 2024 annual meeting.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present virtually at the meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Proxies may not be voted for more than ten nominees. The ten nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the ten nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by us. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. Our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that in order for any person to become a nominee, he or she must submit an irrevocable resignation that is contingent on (i) that person not receiving more votes “for” than votes “withheld” in an uncontested election and (ii) acceptance of the resignation by the Board. In the event a nominee does not receive more votes “for” than votes “withheld”, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board will then act on the committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose by a filing with the SEC and a press release its decision and, if the resignation is rejected, its rationale.
