Such stockholders proposals must also comply with the other requirements of Rule 14a-8 in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting.

The deadline for stockholder proposals other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Company's bylaws, including director nominations and other business, is November 16, 2025. Any such proposal or nomination must meet the requirements set forth in the Company's bylaws.

Additionally, in order for stockholders to give timely notice of nominations for directors for inclusion on a universal proxy card for the 2025 Annual Meeting, notice must be submitted by November 16, 2025, and must include the information in the notice required by the Company's bylaws and by Rule 14a-19(b)(2) and Rule 14a-19(b)(3) under the Exchange Act.
