 but not all, or has not received instructions from you but is entitled to vote your shares on a particular “discretionary” matter) but does not indicate a vote for a particular proposal because the broker or other nominee either does not have the authority to vote on that proposal and has not received voting instructions from you, or has discretionary authority but chooses not to exercise it. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. However, because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on each proposal, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with the two proposals.

Vote Required for Each Proposal

The voting requirements for each of the Proposals under consideration at the Annual Meeting to be approved, and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes on each Proposal, are as follows:

| Proposal(1)                               | Voting Approval Standard                                                                                | Effect of Abstentions             | Effect of Broker Non-Votes (1)    |
| Election of Directors                     | Plurality of the votes cast per Director                                                                | No effect – not counted as a vote | No effect – not counted as a vote |
| Approval of the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan | Majority of the votes cast on the proposal                                                              | No effect – not counted as a vote | No effect – not counted as a vote |
| Ratification of Auditor                   | Majority of the votes cast on the proposal                                                              | No effect – not counted as a vote | No effect – not counted as a vote |
| Adjournment Proposal                      | Majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote | Same effect as a vote against     | No effect – not counted as a vote |

| (1) | Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on each of the above proposals, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with these proposals. |

How to Vote

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held.
