” or “against.” Our by-laws require that, in an uncontested election, any incumbent nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes cast “against” his or her election than “for” his or her election shall tender his or her resignation promptly after such election. The independent directors, other than any director receiving less than a majority of “for” votes, will then evaluate and determine, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board’s explanation of its decision will be promptly disclosed on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”).

#### Other Items
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required for approval of the following proposals, meaning these proposals will be approved if the number of votes cast “for” the proposal exceed the number of votes cast “against” the proposal:

• Ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

• Approval, on an advisory basis, of the 2024 compensation of our named executive officers.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and therefore have no effect on the outcome of the other above matters. For information regarding broker non-votes, see below under “ What is a broker non-vote and how will it affect the voting?”

Although the advisory vote on the 2024 compensation of our named executive officers is non-binding, the Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote on such proposal when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

At present, the Board does not intend to present any other matters at this meeting and knows of no matters other than these to be presented for shareholder action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment, to the extent permitted by Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“ Exchange Act ”).
