 accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal No. 4) if you do not timely provide your voting instructions, because this matter is considered “routine” under the applicable rules. The other items (Proposal Nos. 1, 2 and 3) are considered “non-routine,” and the brokerage firm cannot vote your shares without your specific voting instruction. What constitutes a quorum? As of the record date, a total of 32,658,449 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In order to conduct the Annual Meeting, a majority of the shares entitled to vote must be in attendance online at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy. This is referred to as a “quorum.” If you submit a properly executed proxy card or vote by telephone or on the Internet, you will be considered part of the quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned or postponed from time to time until a quorum is obtained, to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement during the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee who holds shares in street name has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and either chooses not to vote those shares on a routine matter or is not permitted to vote those shares on a non-routine matter. What vote is needed to approve the matters submitted? Election of Directors (Proposal No. 1) . Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. “Plurality” means that the nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote for this proposal. Say-on-Pay (Proposal No. 2) . The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the Say-on-Pay Proposal. For purposes of this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote for this proposal.
