An Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company was held on September 15, 2023 to approve the agenda items described below.
Proxies for the Meeting were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and there was no solicitation in opposition to the Company’s solicitation.
A total of 48,594,284 shares (53.15% of the 91,422,569 issued and outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote as of the July 19, 2023 record date for the Meeting) were present in person or by proxy, constituted a quorum for the transaction of business and were voted at the Meeting. The agenda items submitted at the Meeting were passed as described below. Percentages indicated below reflect the percentage of the total number of shares voted at the Meeting with respect to that agenda item.
Agenda Item 1. To elect six directors:

There were 6,807,920 broker non-votes with respect to the election of directors. Votes that were withheld and broker non-votes were counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but had no other effect on the election of directors.

There were no broker non-votes with respect to this agenda item. Abstentions were counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, and abstentions were deemed to be “votes cast” and had the same effect as a vote against this agenda item.

| For | Against | Abstain |
