1. We note the statements on your proxy card that if you do not specifically instruct otherwise, this WHITE proxy card will confer such named proxies with the authority to cumulate votes among the Company Nominees you mark FOR at their discretion so as to provide for the election of the maximum number of Company Nominees, including the order of priority of such Company Nominees to whom such votes may be allocated (emphasis omitted), and if you do not wish to grant the named proxies discretionary authority to cumulate your votes in the election of directors, you must indicate this on your proxy card in accordance with the instructions set forth below. Please revise to clarify that, absent specific instructions to the contrary, the named proxies may cumulate votes only if the proxy card is unmarked or voted solely for Company Nominees, or advise. 2. Refer to comment 1. Similar disclosure appears in the third paragraph on page three of the proxy statement. Please revise to clarify such disclosure in the same manner as March 28, 2025 Page 2

discussed in comment 1, or advise. 3. Refer to the following disclosure on page three: If you do not wish to grant the proxy holders discretionary authority to cumulate your votes in the election of directors, you must indicate this on your proxy card in accordance with the instructions set forth therein. Shareholders must indicate this by checking the box on the proxy card to indicate they want to cumulate on the front of the card and filling out specific instructions in the space provided as to how they want their votes allocated on the back of the card. No such checkbox appears to exist on the front of the proxy card. Please revise or advise. 4. Please confirm that the proxy services vendor that the Company has hired to record proxy votes is able to record cumulative votes, including pursuant to specific cumulative voting instructions provided by shareholders in response to the checkbox on your proxy card. Please also confirm that all voting platforms, including online and telephone voting platforms, are able to accommodate the processing of cumulative voting. We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
