PROPOSAL FIVE – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE CHARTER TO LIMIT LIABILITY OF OFFICERS AS PERMITTED BY LAW

#### 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 limit the liability of officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and to make clear that exculpation for officers and directors are to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (the “Exculpation Charter Amendment”). The current exculpation protections available to the directors remain unchanged as a result of the proposed amendments.

#### Background
Pursuant to and consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article SIXTH of the Charter already eliminates the monetary liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Effective August 1, 2022, Section 102(b)(7) was amended to permit companies to include in their certificates of incorporation limitations of monetary liability for certain senior corporate officers, such as a president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer, and chief accounting officer, and any other person who is or was identified in our public filings with the SEC as a named executive officer and any persons who have consented to be identified as an officer. Consistent with Section 102(b)(7), the proposed amendments would permit exculpation of these officers for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care in any direct claim to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as it currently exists or as it may be amended in the future. Like the provision limiting the monetary liability of directors, the DGCL does not permit the elimination of liability of these officers for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the company or its shareholders, any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, or any transaction from which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. The DGCL also
