 March 1, 2025 and Mr. Willis having served on the Board since August 2018. Ms. Peffer was identified by the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee as a potential board candidate through NYSE Board Service, which is a complimentary service for NYSE-listed companies looking to refresh their boards. In evaluating the nominees for the Board of Directors, the Board and the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee took into account the qualities they seek for directors, as discussed above under “Corporate Governance,” and the directors’ individual qualifications, skills, and background that enable the directors to effectively and productively contribute to the Board’s oversight of the Company. These individual qualifications and skills are included below in each nominee’s biography, which is contained in the “Directors and Executive Officers” section above. Each of the nominees has indicated her or his willingness to continue to serve as a member of the Board if re-elected.If, however, any of them should be unwilling or unable to serve (a contingency that the Board does not expect to occur), the Board may decrease the size of the Board or may designate substitute nominees, and the proxies will be voted in favor of any such substitute nominees. Vote Required Directors are elected by a “plurality” voting standard, which means that the two nominees for director who receive the greatest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. You may vote “for” or “withhold” authority to vote for each of the nominees for the Board. Because the two nominees for director who receive the greatest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors and because “withhold” votes and broker non-votesare not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, “withhold” votes and broker non-voteswill not affect the outcome of the voting on director elections. Recommendation THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH NOMINEE. 36
