1 Percentage is calculated based on abstained votes and broker non-votes not being counted as a vote against the resolution.
2 The timing for the approval of the executive compensation was issued as one proposal, accordingly the number of votes abstaining and representing broker non-votes for each frequency option are not cumulative.
All of the proposals are described in detail in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2024.
