Who Can Vote at the Annual Meeting

You are only entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if our records show that you held shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), as of the close of business on March 24, 2025 (the “Record Date”). If you wish to attend and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting and your shares are held by a broker or other intermediary, you can only vote your shares at the Annual Meeting if you have a properly executed proxy from the record holder of your shares (or their designee). As of the Record Date, a total of 5,247,826 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Except as otherwise noted below, each share of Common Stock has one vote on each matter presented. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote will be necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders who receive the Notice will not receive a printed copy of
