Re-elected each of Kelly Ulto and Greg Shilling to serve as a director of the Company, effective July 27, 2026, until the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) or until their respective successor is duly elected and qualified, or such director’s earlier resignation or removal;

Reaffirmed its determination that Ms. Ulto qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K as well as Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as applicable;
