A director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successoror his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. The Board believes that each of the director nominees has the knowledge,experience, skills, and background necessary to contribute to an effective and well-functioning Board.In connection with our conversion from a Delaware limited partnership into a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”), weentered into stockholder agreements with our co-founders. These agreements grant each of our co-founders the right todesignate nominees to our Board subject to the maintenance of certain ownership requirements. See “Certain Relationshipsand Related Transactions—Stockholder Agreements” for additional information.The Board has selected David M. Rubenstein, Daniel A. D’Aniello, Harvey M. Schwartz, Sharda Cherwoo, Linda H. Filler,James H. Hance, Jr., Derica W. Rice, and William J. Shaw for election as directors at this 2025 Annual Meeting ofShareholders. If elected, each director will serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and thereafter until theirsuccessors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |                      |                       |
