Whether or not you plan to participate virtually in the Special Meeting, your vote is important. To assure your representation at the meeting, please vote by following the instructions on the document that has been mailed to you, or, if you received a paper copy of the proxy materials, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Sending in your proxy or submitting voting instructions via the Internet will not prevent you from voting during the Special Meeting. If you vote during the Special Meeting pursuant to the voting instructions below, that vote will revoke any prior proxy or voting instructions that you have submitted.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Special Meeting of Stockholders to be Held on Tuesday, March 17, 2026: Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, with respect to the Special Meeting, we have elected to utilize the “full set delivery” option of providing paper copies of all of our proxy materials by mail.
Whether or not you expect to attend the meeting electronically, please submit a proxy to vote your shares promptly. Even if you have submitted a proxy, you may still vote electronically if you attend the virtual meeting, in which case only your vote cast at the virtual meeting will be counted. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank, or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from that record holder.
