 with an executive officer, director, or nominee for director, principal shareholder or any of such persons’ immediate family members or affiliates that would be reportable under Item 404 of Regulation S-K must first be presented to the Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting the proposed agreement, the Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant, including but not limited to, the risks, costs, and benefits to the Company, the terms of the transactions, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on director independence. The Audit Committee shall only approve those agreements that, in light of known circumstances, are in or are not inconsistent with the Company’s best interests, as determined in good faith by the Audit Committee (or other independent committee, as applicable). The requirement for the Audit Committee to review related-party transactions (defined as those transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K) is set forth in the Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter, which was approved on October 11, 2021.

<div align='center'>PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</div>

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has, subject to ratification by the shareholders, selected Baker Tilly as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on any matter is required to ratify the selection of Baker Tilly as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. Brokers have discretion to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal. Accordingly, broker non-votes are not likely to occur with respect to this proposal.

Proxies received in response to this solicitation will be voted “FOR” the approval of Baker Tilly unless otherwise specified in the proxy. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection; provided, however, that the Audit Committee may select Baker Tilly notwithstanding the failure of the shareholders to ratify its selection. Representatives of Baker Tilly will be present at the meeting and available to respond to questions. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
