Annual Meeting Agenda

How to Cast Your Vote

You can vote by any of the following methods:

Voting Standards

For Proposal 1, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares voting in the election. For Proposals 2, 3, and 4, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the matter is required to approve the proposal. Proposal 3 is an advisory vote and not binding on us, but the Board will consider the outcome of the vote on that proposal when considering future named executive officer compensation decisions.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast on any proposal considered at the Annual Meeting and, therefore, will have no effect on the proposals regarding the election of directors in Proposal 1, the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 in Proposal 2, the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers in Proposal 3, or the approval of the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan in Proposal 4. Broker non-votes occur when a person holding shares in “street name,” such as through a brokerage firm, does not provide instructions as to how to vote those shares and the broker does not then vote those shares on the stockholder’s behalf. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast or entitled to be cast on any proposal considered at the Annual Meeting and, therefore, will have no effect on the proposals regarding the election of directors in Proposal 1, the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers in Proposal 3, or the approval of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan in Proposal 4. We expect no broker non-votes on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 in Proposal 2.
