PROPOSAL ONE

The Company currently has six directors divided into three classes. There is also currently a vacancy of a Class III director. As provided in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, each director is elected to serve for a three‑year term and until such director’s successor is elected and has qualified. Accordingly, the Board has nominated Niovi Iasemidi and André Lockhorst, each a current Class I Director, for re-election as directors whose term will expire at the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders.

Unless the proxy is marked to indicate that such authorization is expressly withheld, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote the shares authorized thereby FOR the election of the following two nominees.
