• Proposed Increase in Long Term Incentive Plan Shares

  The company is seeking approval to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under its 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan by 2,000,000 shares, from 3,735,000 to 5,735,000. This amendment would result in an additional potential dilution of approximately 4.7% for existing shareholders.

• Proposed Amendment to Limit Officer Liability

  Shareholders will vote on an amendment to the company's Certificate of Incorporation to expand exculpation protection to officers, limiting their monetary liability for certain breaches of fiduciary duty as permitted by Delaware law. This change aims to attract and retain qualified officers but could reduce accountability.

• Annual Meeting Scheduled

  The Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held virtually on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, where shareholders will vote on these and other routine proposals, including the election of two Class I directors, a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and the ratification of KPMG LLP as the independent auditor.

This definitive proxy statement outlines key proposals for the upcoming annual meeting. Shareholders will vote on a significant increase in shares authorized for the Long Term Incentive Plan, which could result in approximately 4.7% potential dilution. Additionally, a proposal to limit the monetary liability of officers, as permitted by Delaware law, will be put to a vote. While the share increase aims to support executive and director retention, it represents a notable dilution for existing shareholders. The officer liability amendment, if approved, could reduce accountability for certain direct claims by stockholders.
