Record Date August 13, 2026 Date for determining stockholders entitled to notice and to vote at the 2026 meeting
Proposal and nomination deadline August 9, 2026 Last day for receipt of stockholder proposals and director nominations for the 2026 meeting
Prior Annual Meeting date December 16, 2025 One-year anniversary reference date used to assess advance notice timing
Record Date financial
"the Record Date will be August 13, 2026"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
advance notice provisions regulatory
"must each comply with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Bylaws"
Advance notice provisions are rules in a company’s bylaws that require shareholders or potential board candidates to give written notice — by a set deadline — before proposing agenda items or nominating directors for a shareholder meeting. Like an RSVP and agenda deadline for a meeting, they help the company plan and prevent last-minute surprises; for investors, they shape the timing and feasibility of shareholder campaigns and influence how quickly governance changes can occur.
Rule 14a-8 regulatory
"including, if applicable, Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"
Rule 14a-8 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that lets eligible shareholders put proposals on a public company’s proxy ballot for an annual meeting, provided they meet basic ownership and filing requirements. It matters to investors because it creates a formal way to raise governance or strategic issues and force a company-wide vote—like getting an item onto the agenda of a neighborhood association meeting once you’ve lived there long enough—so shareholders can push for change or influence management decisions.
Public Announcement regulatory
"the 10th day following the day on which the Public Announcement of the date"
proxy materials financial
"regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in the Company’s proxy materials"
Proxy materials are the packet of documents sent to shareholders that explain items to be voted on at a company meeting and include the actual ballot or instructions for casting a vote. Think of them as a voting packet that lays out who’s running the company, major proposals (like pay, mergers, or board changes), and arguments for and against each item. Investors care because those votes shape corporate direction, affect risk and future profits, and can influence share value.

(the “Company”) set September 30, 2026 (the “Meeting Date”) as the date of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and August 13, 2026 as the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”).

Because the Meeting Date has advanced by more than 30 days prior to the one-year anniversary of December 16, 2025, the date of the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the Company is providing the due date for submission of any qualified stockholder proposals or qualified stockholder nominations for the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder proposals not intended to be included in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, as well as stockholder nominations for election of directors at the Annual Meeting, must each comply with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Bylaws. For stockholder proposals or director nominations to be considered properly brought before the Annual Meeting, written notice must be received by the Company’s corporate secretary by August 9, 2026, which is the 10th day following the day on which the Public Announcement (as defined in the Bylaws) of the date of the Annual Meeting is first made. If the Company does not receive notice by the foregoing date, then such notice will be considered untimely.

In addition to timing requirements, the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws contain informational requirements that also must be met. A copy of the Bylaws may be obtained by writing to the Company at the Company’s principal place of business.

Stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, including, if applicable, Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in the Company’s proxy materials. The August 9, 2026 deadline will also apply in determining whether a stockholder proposal is submitted timely under Rule 14a-8.

All proposals by stockholders, all notices of nominations or other general business and all written requests for a copy of the Bylaws should be sent to:
