 proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required for approval of this non-binding resolution. For purposes of determining approval of this proposal, abstentions will have the same effect as an “against” vote because they will be treated as representing shares that were present and entitled to vote. In addition, broker non-votes will have no effect on this determination because this proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter under the NYSE rules and therefore brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR the approval of the 2024 compensation of our NEOs as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.

PROPOSAL FOUR – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE CHARTER TO ENABLE ADOPTION OF A STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHT TO CALL SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

#### Overview
Our Board of Directors has approved, adopted and declared advisable, and recommends that the Company’s stockholders approve, amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to enable adoption of a stockholders’ right to call special meetings of stockholders (the “Special Meeting Charter Amendment”).

#### Background
Article EIGHTH of our Charter currently does not permit our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders, and limits that right to the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. As part of the Board’s continuing review of our corporate governance practices and taking into consideration the shareholder proposal (proposal seven) received by the Company, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to recommend that stockholders approve the removal of the provision in Article EIGHTH so that stockholders have the right to call special meetings of stockholders. Contingent on the approval and adoption of the Special Meeting Charter Amendment, the Board will approve amendments to the Company’s by-laws (the “Special Meeting By-law Amendment”) to give stockholders owning 25% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote the ability to request that the Board call a special meeting of stockholders, in accordance with the information, procedural and other requirements set forth in the Special Meeting By-law Amendment, as provided in Appendix B to this proxy
