From and after the date of this Supplement, any references to the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221; are to the Proxy Statement as amended and supplemented by this Supplement.

To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law and SGRP's 2026 By-Laws (to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law): (i) proxies with no specific voting instructions on a candidate or matter (other than any Abstention or Inconclusive Vote) will be voted by the proxy agent as provided below; (ii) Abstentions or Inconclusive Votes respecting any candidate or matter are not counted as votes &#8220;FOR&#8221; or &#8220;AGAINST&#8221; <b><u>or as a </u></b><u>&#8220;</u><b><u>WITHHOLD</u></b><u>&#8221;</u><b><u> vote</u></b>; (iii) Abstentions and Inconclusive Votes are considered a vote but not counted as votes cast with respect to any matter; and (iv) and consequently Abstentions and Inconclusive Votes will have no effect on the vote on such matter.

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">This Supplement is additionally being filed to correct an administrative oversight on the proxy card that previously was furnished to stockholders. Specifically, Item 1 of the proxy card regarding the election of directors incorrectly gave&#8239;stockholders the option to vote &#8220;Against&#8221; directors or &#8220;Abstain&#8221; instead of allowing stockholders to &#8220;Withhold&#8221; votes for directors. Instead, Item 1 should give the voting options &#8220;For&#8221; or &#8220;Withhold.&#8221; &#8220;Against&#8221; or &#8220;Abstain&#8221; votes received in response to the previously issued proxy card will be treated as &#8220;Withhold&#8221; votes for all of the applicable director nominees listed in Item 1 of the proxy card.</p>
