Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Annual Meeting Date: The Board of Directors has set October 21, 2026, as the date for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
- Proposal Deadlines: Because the meeting is held more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2025 meeting, the previous deadlines no longer apply.

- Bylaw Compliance: Similarly, because the meeting is more than 60 days after the 2025 anniversary, stockholders wishing to raise other proposals or nominations must deliver written notice by the same August 16, 2026, deadline.
- Adjournments: Any adjournment, recess, or postponement of the meeting will not extend these deadlines.
- Future Filings: Additional details will be included in the definitive proxy statement to be filed with the SEC.
