? If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, then you are considered a registered stockholder with respect to those shares. If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank, broker, or other nominee (sometimes referred to as shares held in “street name”), then you are considered the beneficial holder of those shares. What if I don’t indicate my voting choices? If you are a registered stockholder and return your signed proxy card but do not mark the boxes showing how you wish to vote on any particular matter, your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by our Board on each matter presented in this Proxy Statement. If you are a beneficial holder, then your broker, bank or other nominee will ask you how you want to vote your shares. If you give the broker, bank or nominee instructions, your shares will be voted as you direct. If you do not give instructions, your broker, bank or nominee may vote your shares only on proposals that are considered routine matters. The only routine matter being proposed for stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting is the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. So, without voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers, bank or other nominee holders will not have discretionary authority to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting on any of the other proposals. We encourage you to provide instructions to your bank, broker or nominee by carefully following the instructions provided. This will ensure that your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting as you direct. Who will count the votes? Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) will tabulate the votes, and there will be a duly appointed inspector of election who will certify his or her examination of the list of stockholders, the number of shares held and outstanding as of the record date, and the necessary quorum for transaction of the business for this meeting. These persons will count the votes at the Annual Meeting. How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting? What is a quorum? A quorum of stockholders is required to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. A quorum is met if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present either in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, broker non-votesand votes withheld from Director nominees count as shares
