ly owns the shares and (2) the broker, bank, or other nominee lacks the authority to vote the shares at his/her discretion. Under current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) interpretations that govern broker non-votes, Proposals 1, 3, and 4 are considered non-discretionary matters, and a broker, bank or other nominee will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposals. Proposal 2 is considered a discretionary matter, and a broker, bank, or other nominee will be permitted to exercise his/her discretion. This means that, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee, your shares will not be voted on Proposals 1, 3 and 4 but may be voted on Proposal 2 in the discretion of your broker, bank, or other nominee.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

With respect to the election of directors (Proposal 1), under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective as of May 17, 2023 (the “Bylaws”), directors are elected by a plurality vote, which means that the director nominees with the greatest number of votes cast, even if less than a majority, will be elected.

With respect to Proposal 4, in the event that no option receives a majority of the votes cast, we will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option selected by stockholders.

How are votes counted?

With respect to the election of directors (Proposal 1), you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to each nominee. Votes that are “withheld” will have the same effect as an abstention and will not count as a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director, because directors are elected by plurality voting. Broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of this proposal.

With respect to the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2), you may vote “FOR,” “
