How We Solicit Proxies

We will solicit proxies and will bear the entire cost of our solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this proxy statement and any additional materials furnished to our stockholders. The initial solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, fax, e-mail, Internet and personal solicitation by our directors or officers. No additional compensation for soliciting proxies will be paid to our directors or officers for their proxy solicitation efforts. We expect to reimburse banks, brokers, and other persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in handling proxy materials for beneficial owners of Common Stock.

We have also retained Sodali & Co, a proxy solicitation firm, to perform various solicitation services via phone and email in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting. We will pay Sodali & Co a fee not to exceed $45,000 plus phone and other related expenses, in connection with its solicitation services. We have also agreed to indemnify Sodali & Co against certain claims.
