Proposal 2 — Ratification of Appointment of ACI’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Audit Committee has selected and appointed, and our Board has approved, the Audit Committee’s selection and appointment of, Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board is submitting the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm for the next fiscal year. Even if the selection is ratified by our stockholders, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of stockholders. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement should they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions.
