ii) a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation, (iii) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for 2025, and (iv) any other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting for a vote.

#### Who is entitled to vote?
If our records show that you were a stockholder of record (i.e., a “registered stockholder”), or if you held shares of our common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee, as of the close of business on February 28, 2025 (the "Record Date"), you are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote the shares of common stock that you held as of the Record Date. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder of record to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding Internet availability of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet instead of mailing a printed copy to our stockholders. Accordingly, on or about March 17, 2025, we began mailing to all of our stockholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2025, a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”). We believe making our proxy materials available over the Internet allows us to provide our stockholders with the proxy materials they need, while lowering the cost of delivering the materials and reducing the impact of our annual meeting on the environment.

Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet and how to vote are included in the Notice. If you received the Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you request a copy. Stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail at no cost.

The Notice will provide you with instructions for how to receive a paper or an e-mail copy of our proxy materials for the 2025 annual meeting of
