• Corrected Director Removal Standard

  The filing replaces an appendix in the original proxy statement to clarify that if the Board Declassification Proposal Amendment is approved, directors can be removed with or without cause, aligning with Delaware law. The original form inadvertently omitted this modification.

• Enhanced Shareholder Accountability

  This change, contingent on board declassification, significantly increases shareholder power by allowing removal of directors without needing to demonstrate 'cause,' a departure from the current 'for cause only' standard.

• Follows Prior Proxy Filings

  This DEFA14A supplements the definitive proxy statement filed on May 11, 2026, which itself followed a preliminary proxy statement on May 1, 2026, both related to the proposed board declassification.

• Context of Governance Challenges

  The update comes amidst recent governance scrutiny, including a Schedule 13D/A filed on April 23, 2026, where a director publicly challenged the company's Board over governance issues.

This filing provides a critical update to the previously issued definitive proxy statement, clarifying the terms for director removal. If shareholders approve the board declassification proposal, this amendment means directors can be removed with or without cause, a significant shift from the current 'for cause only' standard. This change enhances shareholder power and board accountability, especially relevant given recent governance challenges and a director's public challenge to the board.
