 proxy will be voted for the election of each of the nominees. If a nominee becomes unavailable to serve for any reason before the election, the shares represented by proxy will be voted for such other person, if any, as may be designated by the Board. The Board, however, has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable to serve as a director.

Each of Ramesh Gopalakrishnan and Jeffrey S. McCreary notified the Board of his intent not to stand for re-election at the Meeting upon the expiration of their term. Their respective decisions were not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Board plans to set the size of the Board at eight, effective as of the date of the Meeting, and has nominated Glynis A. Bryan to serve as a new Director beginning with this year’s Meeting.

All directors will be elected to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
