AIN” for each nominee for the Board of Directors. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on the proposal to ratify the selection of Freed Maxick P.C. as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2025. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on the advisory vote on executive compensation. You may vote for “ONE YEAR”, “TWO YEARS,” “THREE YEARS,” or “ABSTAIN” on the advisory vote on frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.
