 vote “FOR” this proposal. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 . For 2024 , the Company engaged EY to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2024 , to audit the annual financial statements and to perform audit-related and tax services. Representatives of EY are expected to be present at the annual meeting of shareholders, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Board of Directors seeks an indication from shareholders of their approval or disapproval of the Audit Committee’s appointment of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2025 . The submission of this matter for approval by the shareholders is not legally required. The Board believes that submission of this matter presents an opportunity for the shareholders to provide feedback to the Board on an important issue of corporate governance. If the shareholders do not approve the appointment of EY, the appointment will be re-evaluated by the Audit Committee but will not require the Audit Committee to appoint a different accounting firm. The Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
