Q: Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or a paper copy of the proxy materials?

A: You owned shares of record of our common stock at the close of business on April 25, 2025, the record date for the annual meeting, and, therefore, are entitled to vote at the annual meeting of stockholders. The board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the annual meeting. Pursuant to the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we make our proxy materials available to our stockholders over the Internet. Accordingly, we will mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on or about April 28, 2025 to certain stockholders. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials summarizes the information you need to know to (1) access our proxy materials via the Internet, (2) vote your shares by proxy or in person at the annual meeting and (3) request a paper copy of our proxy materials. For all other stockholders, we will mail a paper copy of our proxy materials on or about April 28, 2025.

Our proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the SEC and is designed to assist you in voting. You do not need to attend the annual meeting in person in order to vote.
