Additional Information Regarding the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Where to Find It

On March 31, 2025, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement containing a form of proxy card with the SEC in connection with its solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting (the "Original Proxy Statement"), and it anticipates that it will prepare and file a revised version of the Original Proxy Statement (the "Revised Proxy Statement") and mail the Revised Proxy Statement to its stockholders of record as of the new May 29, 2025 record date for the Annual Meeting. Any votes previously submitted by the Company's stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting will not be counted and previous proxies submitted will be disregarded and, therefore, all stockholders will need to resubmit their votes after the Revised Proxy Statement has been filed and delivered to stockholders as of the new record date, even if they have previously voted. THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO READ THE REVISED PROXY STATEMENT (AND ANY AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ACCOMPANYING PROXY CARD AS THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Stockholders may obtain the Original Proxy Statement, the Revised Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents as and when filed by the Company with the SEC without charge from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Participants in the Solicitation

The Company and its directors, executive officers and certain employees and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company's stockholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. See Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 20, 2025, and the Revised Proxy Statement, to be filed with the SEC, for information regarding the names and interests of the Company's directors and executive officers.
