  If all 6.5 million newly authorized shares were issued under the plan, it would result in a potential dilution of approximately 10.4% for existing shareholders, based on the 62,436,105 shares outstanding as of the April 17, 2026, record date.

• Routine Annual Meeting Approvals

  Stockholders also elected eight director nominees, ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor, and approved the non-binding advisory resolution on executive compensation.
