WHEREAS, the Board desires to delegate to a pricing committee (the "Pricing Committee") consisting of certain officers and directors of the Company the authority to determine and approve the final terms of the Offering, including the public offering price per share, the total number of shares to be offered, the underwriting discount, and the exercise and allocation of the over-allotment option, in each case within certain parameters to be established by the Board in these resolutions; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT:
Resolution 1: Authorization of the Offering
RESOLVED, that the Company is hereby authorized to conduct an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to Two Hundred Seven Million Dollars ($207,000,000) (including the full exercise of the over-allotment option), pursuant to the Registration Statement and a prospectus supplement to be prepared and filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Offering shall be conducted on a firm commitment basis with the Underwriters, and the terms and conditions of the Offering shall be subject to the following parameters:
(a) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be offered and sold in the Offering shall not exceed Eight Million (8,000,000) shares, inclusive of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters;
(b) the minimum public offering price per share of Common Stock shall not be less than Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share; and
(c) the Offering shall be conducted through the Underwriters on a firm commitment basis, with the Underwriters purchasing shares of Common Stock from the Company at the public offering price per share less the underwriting discount per share, as determined by the Pricing Committee in accordance with Resolution 3 hereof.
The foregoing authorization shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the closing of the Offering and (ii) December 31, 2025, unless earlier terminated by action of the Board.
Resolution 2: Authorization of Issuance of Shares
RESOLVED, that the issuance and sale of up to Eight Million (8,000,000) shares of Common Stock in connection with the Offering (including any shares of Common Stock subject to the over-allotment option) is hereby authorized, and that such shares, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor at the public offering price per share less the underwriting discount per share, shall be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. The Board hereby confirms that the Company has a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance in the Offering, as demonstrated by the following calculation:
Total authorized shares of Common Stock: 300,000,000
Less: Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding: (152,400,000)
Less: Shares of Common Stock held in treasury: (4,200,000)
Total authorized but unissued shares (excluding treasury): 143,400,000
Less: Shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan (outstanding options): (3,850,000)
Total shares available for new issuance: 139,550,000
Accordingly, the Company has 139,550,000 shares of Common Stock available for new issuance, which is well in excess of the maximum of 8,000,000 shares authorized for issuance in the Offering. No amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or any other action by the stockholders of the Company is required to authorize the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock contemplated by these resolutions.
Resolution 3: Establishment and Authorization of the Pricing Committee
RESOLVED, that a Pricing Committee of the Board is hereby established, which shall consist of the following members:
(i) Marcus Hale, Chief Executive Officer and Director;
(ii) Lena Okafor, Chief Financial Officer; and
(iii) Patricia Moynihan, Independent Director and Chair of the Finance Committee of the Board.
The Pricing Committee is hereby authorized, empowered, and directed to determine and approve the following final terms of the Offering, subject in each case to the parameters established by these resolutions:
(a) the public offering price per share of Common Stock, provided that such price shall not be less than Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share;
(b) the total number of shares of Common Stock to be offered and sold in the Offering, provided that such number shall not exceed Eight Million (8,000,000) shares of Common Stock (inclusive of any shares subject to the over-allotment option);
(c) the underwriting discount per share of Common Stock and any other compensation payable to the Underwriters in connection with the Offering;
(d) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the over-allotment option, provided that such number shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the number of firm shares to be sold in the Offering;
(e) the closing date and settlement mechanics for the Offering, including any customary arrangements for delivery of shares through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company; and
(f) any other terms of the Offering that are not inconsistent with these resolutions and that the Pricing Committee deems necessary or advisable in connection with the Offering.
Any two (2) members of the Pricing Committee, acting together, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by the Pricing Committee.
