 • FOR the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (Say on Pay), • FOR ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, and • AGAINST the shareholder proposal regarding shareholder approval requirement for excessive golden parachutes. 112 TABLE OF CONTENTS What vote is required to elect directors and to approve the other proposals? With respect to Proposal 1, director nominees receiving a majority of votes cast (number of shares voted “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “against” that director nominee) will be elected as a director. For each of Proposals 2, 3 and 4 and any other matter (other than Proposal 1) properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve such proposal. Can my shares be voted if I don’t vote by proxy and don’t attend the Annual Meeting? If you are a shareholder of record, you can vote by proxy using the Internet, as described on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card, calling the toll-free telephone number listed on your proxy card or completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy card. If you don’t vote your shares held in street name, your broker can vote your shares on the ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm. Your broker is not permitted to vote your shares on the election of the director nominees or any other matter on the agenda, other than the ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm, without receiving instructions from you. This is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” If you hold your shares in your own name with our transfer agent and you do not vote, your shares will not be voted at all. How are my votes counted? With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote for or against or you may abstain with respect to the election of each nominee for the Board. If you abstain with respect to any nominee, your shares will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be counted as votes cast with respect to the election of such nominee and, accordingly, will have no effect on the election of that nominee. For each of Proposals 2, 3 and 4, you may vote for or against or you may abstain with respect to the approval
