 the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standards No. 1301 “Communication with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board with KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has received written disclosures from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board which relate to the accountant’s independence from us and has discussed with KPMG LLP their independence from us. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the services provided by KPMG LLP is compatible with maintaining KPMG LLP’s independence. Based on the review and discussions referenced above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Audit Committee: Frederick M. Hudson (Chair),

SAY-ON-PAY ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Dodd-Frank Act requires all public companies to hold a separate non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our CEO and other named executive officers (NEOs), which is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the executive compensation tables, and the accompanying narrative disclosure in the Company’s Proxy Statement (commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote). Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, each public company must submit this proposal to its stockholders not less than every three years. We presently submit this non-binding “say-on-pay” advisory vote to our stockholders annually, so the next “say-on-pay” advisory vote will be at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2026. In this Proposal 2, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation paid to our CEO and other NEOs. As noted in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, our executive compensation program is designed to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders to reward executives with incentives that are closely linked to the Company’s short and long-term performance goals. Through regular review of the alignment of executive compensation with the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee seeks to successfully attract and retain highly qualified and motivated executives by providing a competitive executive compensation program that aligns with the value that our executives create for our stockholders. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section describes our executive compensation philosophy
