The Audit Committee and our Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the company and our shareholders, and we are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025.

If this proposal is not approved by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, our Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of Ernst & Young LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may in its discretion select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of the company and our shareholders.
