ident Group, even as a protest vote. If the Dissident Group withdraws or abandons its solicitation or fails to comply with the universal proxy rules, any votes cast in favor of the Dissident Group’s nominees will be disregarded and not be counted as votes cast, whether such vote is provided on the Company’s WHITEuniversal proxy card or the Dissident Group’s NON-WHITE proxy card. Following such withdrawal or abandonment, stockholders can still sign and date a later submitted WHITEuniversal proxy card, or vote over the Internet by following the instructions provided on the enclosed WHITEuniversal proxy card. REVOKING A PROXY A stockholder of record may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by submitting a new proxy bearing a later date, by voting by telephone or over the Internet, or by delivering to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at 4670 Willow Road, Suite 125, Pleasanton, CA 94588, a revocation of the proxy in writing so that it is received by the Company prior to the date of the Annual Meeting. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. If you are a beneficial owner, you may revoke your proxy by submitting new instructions to your broker, bank, or other agent, or if you have received a proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent giving you the right to vote your shares at our Annual Meeting, by attending the meeting and voting during the meeting. SOLICITATION These proxy materials are being provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company and are first being sent to stockholders on or about April 7, 2025. In addition to this delivery, the Company’s employees or directors may solicit proxies personally, electronically, or by telephone. We also have engaged Sodali & Co., a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. As a result of the potential proxy solicitation by the Dissident Group, we will incur additional costs and expenses in connection with our solicitation of proxies. These additional costs also include fees and expenses of outside counsel in connection with a contested election, costs associated with SEC filings, increased printing and mailing costs related to additional mailings of solicitation materials to stockholders, and the costs of retaining an independent inspector of elections. The Company will not pay or reimburse the costs incurred by the Dissident
