Effective January 20, 2025, T. Scott King resigned as a director of our company. Mr. King’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with our company on any matter relating to our company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. King had been a director of our company since 2014.

Effective January 20, 2025, Patrick L. McCrory was elected to our Board of Directors. Mr. McCrory, age 68, holds a distinguished and nationally recognized leadership record in both the public and private sectors. Mr. McCrory served as the Governor of North Carolina from January 2013 to January 2017. Prior to his term as Governor, Mr. McCrory served as the longest-running Mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina, from 1995 to 2009. During his mayoral term, Mr. McCrory also served on the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory Council during the George W. Bush Administration from 2002 to 2006. He was formerly the Chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors (the “USCM”) Community Development and Housing Committee and the Chair of the USCM Energy and Environmental Committee.

Mr. McCrory also served as a director of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation, a leading manufacturer of scientific equipment and laboratory furniture, from May 2009 to January 2013 and as a director of LendingTree, Inc.

Mr. McCrory currently serves as a sales consultant to privately held companies.

Mr. McCrory is well qualified to serve as a director of our company due to his decades of experience in government service, insight into regulatory affairs and his extensive private leadership experience gained from more than 30 years of working in a broad array of business transactions.
