ney to schedule a meeting after the Board concluded its interviews of the Anson Nominees. On March 20, 2025, Mr. McInerney responded to Mr. Gupta’s email and stated that he would contact Mr. Gupta after the Board concluded its interviews with the Anson Nominees.

Over the course of the last two weeks of March 2025, members of the Nominating Committee held separate interviews with each of Ms. Chima, Ms. Morrell and Ms. Lee, without management present and in the customary manner they were conducting interviews as part of the ongoing director search process. The nominees were asked to discuss their qualifications, board experience, industry expertise, prior relationship with Anson and their strategic ideas for the Company.

Mr. McInerney further explained that the Nominating Committee considered the Anson Nominees’ skills and experience, as well as information obtained during the course of interviews with the candidates, and concluded that the Anson Nominees did not possess qualifications that were consistent with the ongoing search or that would be additive to
