Only shareholders of record on May 30, 2023, the record date for the meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the meeting.

Why will shareholders receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our Annual Report for fiscal 2023, to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to most of our shareholders, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice.
How may shareholders attend the virtual meeting and ask questions at the virtual meeting?

Please be sure to follow instructions found on your proxy card or other information forwarded by your bank, broker or other nominee and subsequent instructions that will be delivered to you via email.

If participants encounter any difficulty accessing, or during, the virtual meeting, they should call the support team at the numbers listed on the emailed instructions.
Even if you plan to attend the virtual meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance by Internet, telephone or mail so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the virtual meeting.
