 effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal as they are not considered entitled to vote for the foregoing purpose.

If you provide specific instructions, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction form with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors (“FOR” each of the nominees to the Board of Directors, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, “FOR” approving, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers in 2024, selecting “ONE YEAR” as the frequency with which we will hold advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, and “FOR” the approval of the Plan Amendment; and in the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matters that may properly come before the meeting).

#### What vote is required to approve each item?
We have a majority voting standard for uncontested elections of directors (Proposal No. 1), which means that to be elected, a director nominee must receive a majority of the votes cast, i.e. the number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee.

The vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal No. 2), to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the resolution on named executive officer compensation (Proposal No. 3), and to approve the Plan Amendment (Proposal No. 5). The say-on-pay frequency receiving the greatest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be deemed to be the preferred frequency of our stockholders (Proposal No. 4).
