 of business on Thursday, April 17, 2025 has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each of the nine nominees for director and one vote on all other matters. There are no cumulative voting rights. As of the Record Date, there were 93,311,956 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

QUORUM

The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. The inspector of election will determine the number of shares of Common Stock the holders of which are present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and report to the chair of the meeting, who will determine and announce whether a quorum is present.

TABULATION OF VOTES

Stockholder votes will be tabulated by the person(s) appointed by the Board of Directors to act as inspector of election for the Annual Meeting.

VOTING OF SHARES — RECORD HOLDERS

Shares represented by a properly executed and delivered proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting and, when instructions have been given by the stockholder, will be voted in accordance with those instructions. If a properly executed and delivered proxy card does not provide instructions, then the shares represented by that proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the Board of Directors’ nine nominees named below for election to the Board of Directors, “FOR” the proposal to adopt, on an advisory basis, a resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers, and “FOR” the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

VOTING OF SHARES — STREET NAME HOLDERS

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you will receive a voting instruction form and directions from such nominee that you must follow in order to vote your shares. Directing the voting of your shares will not affect your right to vote online during the virtual Annual Meeting if you decide to attend the meeting; however, you must first follow the instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares held in street name at the meeting.
