 transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

What vote is required to approve each matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting?

Proposal One: Election of the Two Class II Directors Named in this Proxy Statement.

We have implemented a majority of votes cast standard for uncontested director elections in our Amended and Restated Bylaws. To be elected, each director must receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election. “Majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “FOR” a director exceeds the number of shares voted “AGAINST” that director.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that any incumbent director who is not re-elected in an election in which majority voting applies must tender his or her resignation to our board of directors promptly following certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the tendered resignation and make a recommendation to our board of directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken.

An abstention or a broker non-vote on Proposal One will not have any effect on the election of the director.

Proposal Two: Ratification of the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending January 31, 2026.

The affirmative vote of the majority of our shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting is required for the approval of Proposal Two.

An abstention on Proposal Two will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal Two. Brokers will have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal. Accordingly, there will not be any broker non-votes on Proposal Two.

Proposal Three: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

The affirmative vote of the majority of our shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting is required for the approval of Proposal Three.

An abstention on Proposal Three will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal Three. A broker non-vote on Proposal Three will not have any effect on the voting results.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is non-binding. Although the vote is non-binding, our board of directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
