THE DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT PROPOSAL Our Board currently consists of five directors and is divided into three classes, with staggered three-year terms, pursuant to our Articles. Directors in Class I will stand for appointment at the Annual Meeting. The terms of office of directors in class II (“Class II”) and class III (“Class III”) expire at our Annual Meetings to be held in 2026 and 2027, respectively. At the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board proposes that each of the Class I Directors named below be appointed as a Class I Director for a three-year term expiring at our 2028 Annual Meeting or until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Shares represented by proxies will be voted “FOR” the appointment of each of the Class I Directors named below, unless the proxy is marked to withhold authority to so vote. If any nominee for any reason is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holder might determine. Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if appointed. Proxies may not be voted for more than two directors. Shareholders may not cumulate votes for the appointment of directors. Nominees to Our Board The nominees and their ages, occupations and lengths of service on our Board as of the date of this Proxy Statement are provided in the table below and in the additional biographical descriptions set forth in the text below the table.
