 Abstentions will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for Proposal 3. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to select our independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the selection of Stephano Slack LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the audit committee of our Board will reconsider its selection.

Proposal 4: The Redomestication Proposal.The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on this proposal is required to approve the redomestication of the Company from Delaware to Texas by conversion. Abstentions will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for Proposal 4. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote.

Proposal 5: The Adjournment Proposal.The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required to approve adjournment of the meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve any or all of the foregoing proposals. Abstentions will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for Proposal 5. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

If you hold your shares in street name, it is critical that you cast your vote for Proposals 1, 2, and 4. Your bank, broker, or other holder of record only has discretionary authority to vote any uninstructed shares with respect to Proposals 3 and 5.
