Instructions for completing this Letter of Transmittal are included herein.

IMPORTANT: If you hold your Shares in a brokerage account or otherwise through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee and you are not the holder of record on our books, you must contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee and comply with their policies and procedures and provide them with any necessary paperwork in order to have them tender your Shares.

The broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee holding your Shares must submit the Letter of Transmittal that pertains to your Shares to the Depositary on your behalf. This requirement will be strictly followed, and Letters of Transmittal that do not conform to the above will be rejected. If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, agents, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of their authority to so act must be submitted together with any required signature guarantees and other documents as described herein. If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee holds your Shares, it may have an earlier deadline for accepting the Offer.

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 4, 2026, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Offer to Purchase”).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned (“Assignor” or the “undersigned”) hereby tenders to the Company the number of the undersigned’s Shares specified below at a price of $33.00 per Share, net to the Assignor in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase and any supplements or amendments to either, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Unless extended or withdrawn, the Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on October 5, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”).

Stockholders of the Company who tender their Shares hereunder will not be obligated to pay transfer fees, brokerage fees, or commissions on the sale of the Shares.

Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of and payment for the Shares tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to or upon the order of the Company all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares tendered hereby, subject to the proration provisions of the Offer, including, without limitation, all rights in, and claims to, any voting rights, profits and losses, and any dividends or distributions that may be declared, paid, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the tendered Shares to stockholders of record after the date on which the Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, and other benefits of any nature whatsoever distributable or allocable to such tendered Shares under the Company’s charter (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time).

Subject to and effective on acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered with this Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company, all right, title and interest in and to all the Shares that are being tendered hereby and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Depositary, the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to such Shares, to (a) transfer ownership of such Shares on the account books maintained by the Company’s registrar, together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Company, (b) present such Shares for cancellation and transfer on the Company’s books and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Company and the Depositary that the undersigned owns the Shares tendered hereby and has full power and authority to validly tender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares tendered hereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by the Company, the Company will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and such Shares will not be subject to any adverse claims and that the transfer and assignment contemplated in this Letter of Transmittal are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. If the undersigned is a U.S. stockholder, the undersigned further represents and warrants that the undersigned is a “United States person,” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of Shares tendered hereby and otherwise in order to complete the transactions and transfers to the Company and the Depositary contemplated in this Letter of Transmittal.

It is a violation of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a person acting alone or in concert with others, directly or indirectly, to tender Shares for such person’s own account unless, at the time of tender and at the end of the proration period, such person has a “net long position” in (a) a number of Shares that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares for the purpose of tendering to the Company within the period specified in the Offer, or (b) a number of other securities immediately convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable into Shares (“Equivalent Securities”) that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and, upon the acceptance of such tender, will acquire such Shares by conversion, exchange or exercise of such Equivalent Securities to the extent required by the terms of the Offer and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares so acquired for the purpose of tendering to the Company within the period specified in the Offer. Rule 14e-4 also provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person. A tender of Shares made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth in this Letter of Transmittal will constitute the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer, as well as the undersigned’s representation and warranty to the Company that (a) the undersigned has a “net long position” in a number of Shares or Equivalent Securities at least equal to the Shares being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4, and (b) the tender of Shares complies with Rule 14e-4.

The undersigned understands that a tender of Shares pursuant to the procedures described in “The Offer —Procedures for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase and in the Instructions hereto will constitute the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer. The Company’s acceptance for payment of Shares tendered in the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the proration provisions. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligation of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer, this tender is irrevocable. No tender of Shares will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering stockholder or waived by the Company. The Company will not be liable for failure to waive any condition of the Offer, or any defect or irregularity in any tender of Shares. The Company encourages tendering stockholders to submit tender materials as early as possible, so that such stockholders will have as much time as possible before the Expiration Date to correct any defects or irregularities in their tenders. See “The Offer —Procedures for Tendering Shares” in the Offer to Purchase and the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal for additional details regarding the procedures for properly tendering Shares.
