 votes were received for a frequency of every year. Our Board of Directors determined, in light of those results, that we would include a Say-on-Pay Vote in our annual meeting proxy materials every year until the next required say-on-pay frequency vote is held, which will be at the 2030 annual meeting of shareholders. Our Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.

| PROPOSAL III - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OFINDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |

The Audit Committee has appointed Moss Adams LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Representatives of Moss Adams LLP have been invited to be present at the Annual Meeting, and we expect that they will attend. If present, these representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. Shareholder ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. The Board of Directors, however, is submitting the appointment of Moss Adams LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If our shareholders fail to ratify the appointment, the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of 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 interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy Pursuant to the terms of its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee may establish pre-approval policies and procedures, as permitted by applicable law and SEC regulations and consistent with its charter for the engagement of the independent auditors to render permissible non-audit services to the Company, provided
