PROPOSAL 5: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</div>

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 and has further directed that management submit the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting, have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board is submitting the selection of KPMG to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
