    8 Shareholder Proposals Proposal 6 Requests a bylaw amendment to allow a 14-day cure period for nomination notices Proposal 7 Requests the removal of one-year holding requirement to call a special meeting The Board recommends a vote AGAINST the shareholder proposals, as they are unnecessary and not in the best interest of shareholders given existing governance practices Why We Oppose • “Cure” right would increase litigation risk and benefit short-term interests • Nomination rights are consistent with market practice • Bylaws already provide shareholders with clear, well- defined requirements for submitting nominations Why We Oppose • Shareholders already have a meaningful, balanced right to call special meetings • Shareholder meeting right is aligned with market practice • Holding requirement protects against misuse by narrow, short-term interests and serves as a reasonable safeguard for the Company and shareholders For more information, please see page 114 of the proxy statement For more information, please see page 117 of the proxy statement
