 of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock and common stock, which we refer to as Proposal No. 5. 6. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR Proposals No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Stockholders of record at the close of business on [ ], 2025 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules permit us to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet. We will be mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which indicates how to access our proxy materials on the Internet. We are constantly focused on improving the ways people connect with information, and believe that providing our proxy materials over the Internet increases the ease and ability of our stockholders to connect with the information they need while reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. If you would prefer to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials, you may request them by following the procedures set forth in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to read the accompanying Proxy Statement and submit your proxy or voting instructions as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote your shares over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, telephonically by dialing 1-800-690-6903 or if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, via your enclosed proxy card. If the shares you own are held in “street name” by a bank, broker, or other nominee, your bank, broker, or other nominee will provide a voting instruction form, or, if requested, a printed set of proxy materials together with a voting instruction form, which you may use to direct how your shares will be voted. You are cordially invited to join us at the Annual Meeting. However, to ensure your representation, we request that you submit your proxy and vote at your earliest convenience, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the Annual Meeting by following the TABLE OF CONTENTS instructions in the accompanying Proxy Statement or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.
