 are still considered the beneficial owner of the shares, but your shares are deemed to be held in "street name."

What if I submit my proxy but do not specify how I want my shares voted?

If you vote your shares directly (as opposed to voting through a broker or other intermediary) and do not specify on your proxy card (or when giving your proxy by telephone or the internet) how you want to vote your shares, the proxy holder will vote them as the board recommends as outlined above.

#### Can I change my vote?
Yes. If you attend the virtual meeting, whether you are a shareholder of record or hold your shares in street name, you may change your vote online during the meeting (attendance will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). If you are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote and revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting in any of the following ways:

• by sending a written notice of revocation of your proxy to our Corporate Secretary;

• by submitting another properly signed proxy card at a later date to our Corporate Secretary; or

• by submitting another proxy by telephone or the internet at a later date.

If you hold your shares in street name, you must follow the voting instructions provided to you by your broker, trustee, bank or nominee.

How do I submit shareholder proposals or director nominations for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

Any shareholder proposals intended to be included in the Proxy Statement for the annual meeting in 2026 must be received by our Corporate Secretary at 801 Marquette Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 no later than the close of business on November 10, 2025. Proposals received by that date will be included in our 2026 Proxy

Statement only if the proposals are proper for consideration at an annual meeting and are required for inclusion in the Proxy Statement by, and conform to, the rules of the SEC.

In accordance with the notice provisions contained in our bylaws, a shareholder may present a proposal at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders that is not included in our Proxy Statement if proper written notice is given to our President and CEO or Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on January 24, 2026. The notice must comply with the requirements of and contain the information required by our bylaws, which are filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31
