| PROPOSALS |

| PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES |

The Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Board”) currently has seven trustees, all of whom have been nominated to stand for election at the Annual Meeting. All trustees elected at the meeting will hold office until our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. You are entitled to cast one vote per Common Share for each of the seven nominees. You may not vote for more than seven nominees.

Information about each trustee nominee and their qualifications to serve as a trustee appears under “Trustee Information—Trustee Nominees” in this Proxy Statement.

Our Bylaws provide that in uncontested elections, such as this one, a nominee must receive a majority of votes cast in order to be elected. An “abstention” or “broker non-vote” will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for this proposal.

| þ |     | The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote “FOR” for each of the nominees. |
