 The procedures for a stockholder to nominate director candidates are described under “Submitting Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2026 Annual Meeting” in this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by the stockholders using the same criteria that it uses in evaluating all other candidates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members, considering current Board composition, Company strategy and all relevant facts and circumstances at that time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 In identifying and evaluating the suitability of nominees for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the applicable requirements for directors under the Exchange Act and the NYSE listing rules. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers other criteria it deems appropriate and which may vary over time depending on the Board’s needs, including criteria such as automotive or manufacturing industry experience, general understanding of various business disciplines (e.g., marketing, finance, etc.), the Company’s business environment, educational and professional background, analytical ability, and a willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties. Director candidates should demonstrate commitment to the highest personal and professional ethical standards, integrity, and the core values of the Company and will be evaluated on their ability to consider and balance the legitimate interests and concerns of the Company’s stockholders and other stakeholders effectively, consistently, and appropriately in reaching decisions. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also ensures the Board has a broad range of valuable perspectives by seeking candidates from varied backgrounds and viewpoints. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of retaining a group that can best enhance the Company’s success and represent the interests of stockholders and other stakeholders with sound judgment. 
 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee presents its recommendations for director nominees to the Board of Directors, who analyze the committee’s findings and select the nominees to be presented to the stockholders for a vote at the annual meeting of the stockholders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |     |                                                                                   |     |                                                         |     |                    |     |                                                                |
