Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for the oversight of risk, while management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk. The Board, directly and through its committees, carries out its oversight role by regularly reviewing and discussing with management the risks inherent in the operation of our business and applicable risk mitigation efforts. Management meets regularly to discuss the Company’s business strategies, challenges, risks and opportunities and reviews those items with the Board at regularly scheduled meetings. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation plans and arrangements, including whether the Company’s incentive compensation plans encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our risk assessment and management processes related to, among other things, our financial reports and record-keeping, major litigation and financial risk exposures, and cybersecurity risk, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for risk oversight associated with corporate governance practices and the composition of our Board and its committees.

Evaluations of the Board of Directors The Board evaluates its performance and the performance of its committees and individual directors on an annual basis through an evaluation process administered by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board discusses each evaluation to determine what, if any, actions should be taken to improve the effectiveness of the Board or any committee thereof or of the directors. Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance Directors are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings of the Board and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”), our Board had 14 Board meetings, our Audit Committee had 3 meetings, our Nominating and Corporate Governance had 3 meetings and our Compensation Committees had 4 meetings. During fiscal year 2025, each current member of our Board attended at least 80% of all Board and relevant Committee meetings held during the period in which such director served. Our independent directors hold regularly scheduled executive sessions without our management present. These executive sessions of independent directors are chaired by our Chairman of the Board.
