Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement |
Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement |
Q.Who may vote at the annual meeting? | A.Our Board has established the record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting" or the "meeting") as the close of business on March 21, 2025. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being sent to holders of our common stock as of the record date at the direction of the Board. | |
Q.How many shares must be present to conduct business at the meeting? | A.Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the record date. For purposes of the meeting, a quorum means a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote “present” in person or by proxy at the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the time the Annual Meeting is convened, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting until such time that a quorum is present. Shares that are represented at the Annual Meeting but abstain from voting on any or all matters will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote in determining the presence of a quorum. Shareholders participating virtually in the meeting are considered to be attending the meeting “in person.” Abstentions and withheld votes are counted as shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. As of the close of business on the record date, there were ____ outstanding shares of common stock entitled to one vote each. In determining whether a quorum exists at the meeting, all shares for which proxies were submitted will be counted. Proxies properly executed and received by us prior to the meeting and not revoked will be voted as directed therein on all matters presented at the meeting. | |
Q.What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting? | A.At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will act upon the following matters: 1.The election of the nine members of our Board of Directors named in the Proxy Statement; 2.The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025; 3.The approval, by an advisory and non-binding vote, of the compensation paid by the Company to its Named Executive Officers in fiscal year 2024; 4.The amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock; and 5.The approval, by an advisory and non-binding vote, of the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation. | |
Q.How does the Board recommend I vote? | A.Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" all nominees for proposal 1, “FOR” proposals 2, 3 and 4, and "One Year" for Proposal 5. With respect to Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), a shareholder may (i) vote for the election of each named director nominee, or (ii) withhold authority to vote for any named director nominee. With respect to Proposal 2 (Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), Proposal 3 (Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation) and Proposal 4 (Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock), a shareholder may vote for, against or abstain. With respect to Proposal 5, a shareholder may vote for a frequency of one, two or three years or abstain. Please note that brokers may not vote your shares on Proposals 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the absence of your specific instructions as to how to vote. Please vote either online, by telephone or by returning your Proxy Card so your vote can be counted. Under Proposal 1, the directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Therefore, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on Proposal 1, except to the extent that they will count as votes not cast. | |
Proposals 2, 3 and 4 require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, assuming a quorum is present. The frequency vote option that receives the highest number of votes cast will prevail for Proposal 5. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on these proposals. | ||
Q.What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting? | A.Other than the items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matter should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy form enclosed will vote in accordance with their judgment upon such matter. |
Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement |
Q.How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”? | A.If a shareholder’s shares are held by a broker or another nominee (the “broker”) on the shareholder’s behalf (that is, in “street name”) and the shareholder does not instruct the broker as to how to vote the shareholder’s shares, the broker may vote the shares in its discretion on matters designated as routine. However, a broker cannot vote shares held in street name on matters designated as non-routine unless the broker receives voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If a shareholder’s shares are held in street name and the shareholder does not provide voting instructions to the broker, the broker will have discretion to vote those shares only on Proposal 2 because this proposal is considered a routine matter. “Broker non-votes” occur when a brokerage firm receives a proxy for which no voting instruction has been received from the beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be included for quorum determination purposes at our Annual Meeting but will not be counted as votes cast on any non- routine matter presented. | |
Q.How can I attend the Annual Meeting? | A.The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a shareholder of the Company as of the close of business on the record date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting meetnow.global/MY9UDQU. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the Annual Meeting by webcast. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need to review the information included on your Notice, on your Proxy Card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register to attend the Annual Meeting in advance using the instructions below. The online meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 A.M. ET. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in. Please follow the registration instructions as outlined in this Proxy Statement. | |
