(the &#34;Company&#34;) filed a definitive proxy statement (the &#34;Proxy Statement&#34;) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Company&#x2019;s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 3, 2025 (the &#34;Annual Meeting&#34;). The Company is filing this supplement (this &#34;Supplement&#34;) to its Proxy Statement solely to correct the vote standard and to clarify the treatment and effect of broker non-votes on Proposal 2 as described in the last paragraph on page 25 in the section titled &#34;Proposal 2 &#x2013; To Approve An Amendment To The 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan&#34; (&#34;Proposal 2 Section&#34;).</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">Voting Information on Proposal 2</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">The vote required to approve Proposal 2, as disclosed on page 4 of the Proxy Statement in the &#34;Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting and Voting&#34; (the &#34;Q&amp;A Section&#34;), was properly stated as &#34;the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of common stock of the Company represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote.&#34; Additionally, the treatment and effect of broker non-votes was also properly stated on page 5 of the Proxy Statement in the Q&amp;A Section, indicating that broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposals 1 and 3 and have the effect of a vote AGAINST Proposal 2. This is due to the fact that, in accordance with Article SEVENTH of the Company&#x2019;s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, approval of Proposal 2 requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the capital stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, which means that at least a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must vote in favor of Proposal 2 (whereas, Proposal 3 is a &#34;routine matter&#34; for which brokers have discretionary authority to vote, and as such, there will be no &#34;broker non-votes&#34; for Proposal 3). Due to an inadvertent error, the Proposal 2 Section of the Proxy Statement was not updated to correctly reflect this vote standard or the correct treatment and effect of broker non-votes on the proposal. This Supplement is being filed solely to correct the vote standard and clarify the treatment and effect of broker non-votes as described in the Proposal 2 Section of the Proxy Statement. The aforementioned paragraph is replaced in its entirety to read as follows:</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;border-bottom:1pt solid #808080;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p>
