The formal Proxy Statement that follows this letter provides extensive background information about each of the proposals, along with the recommendations of our Board of Directors to vote in favor of each of the proposals.
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2026 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Notice of the 2026 Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement and a copy of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the means to vote by internet are available atwww.proxyvote.com. Please read this information carefully before voting your proxy.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the "Commission") has adopted rules regarding how companies must provide proxy materials to their stockholders. These rules are often referred to as “notice and access,” under which a company may select either of the following options for making proxy materials available to its stockholders:
| ● | the full set delivery option; or |
| ● | the notice only option. |
i
A company may use a single method for all of its stockholders, or use full set delivery for some while adopting the notice only option for others.
Under the full set delivery option, a company delivers all proxy materials to its stockholders by mail. In addition to delivery of proxy materials to stockholders, the company must post all proxy materials on a publicly-accessible website and provide information to stockholders about how to access the website.
In connection with the Annual Meeting, we have elected to use the full set option.
Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please take the time to vote:
| ● | Via the internet – Go to the website shown on your proxy card; |
|---|
| ● | Via telephone – Call the toll-free number shown on your proxy card; or |
|---|
| ● | Via mail – Complete, sign and date your proxy card (if you requested one) and mail it in the postage paid envelope. |
|---|
If you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on March 9, 2026, you may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for review at the Annual Meeting.
If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, but you hold your shares through a broker or other nominee (i.e., your shares are held in “street name”), contact your broker or nominee promptly to obtain a “legal proxy,” which you must bring to the meeting in order to vote in person at the meeting. Thank you for your support for the recommendations of our Board of Directors.
By Order of the Board of Directors
/s/ John A. Weinzierl
Chairman
