 contact your nominee directly in order to obtain a proxy issued to you by your nominee holder. Note that a broker letter that identifies you as a stockholder is not the same as a nominee-issued proxy. If you fail to bring a nominee-issued proxy to the Annual Meeting, you will not be able to vote your “street name” shares in person at the Annual Meeting.

Who counts the votes?

All votes will be tabulated by BetaNXT, Inc., the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting. Votes for each proposal will be tabulated separately.

Can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by completing a ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” you may vote your shares in person only if you obtain a proxy issued by your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares and you bring such proxy to the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also return your proxy card or voting instructions as described above so that your votes will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting or are unable to attend. What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted? If you are a record holder who returns a signed proxy card that does not specify how you want to vote your shares on one or more proposals, the proxies will vote your shares for each proposal as to which you did not provide any voting instructions, and such shares will be voted in the following manner:

| Proposal 1 
 Proposal 2 |     | — 
 — |     | FOR the election of each of the Class III director nominees;                                                                                                  
 FOR the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025; and |
|:-----------|:----|:--|:----|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Proposal 3 |     | — |     | FOR the advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.                                                                                |

If you are a “street name” holder and do not provide voting instructions on one or more proposals, your broker, bank or other nominee may be unable to vote your shares on all of the proposals other than the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP (Proposal 2).
