, a discretionary annual cash bonus target, and stock options, RSUs and PSUs. Andrew Kang: a base salary, a discretionary annual cash bonus target, and stock options, RSUs and PSUs. W. Ming Shao: a base salary, a discretionary annual cash bonus target, and stock options, RSUs and PSUs. We also provided each of our executive officers with certain perquisites and other benefits in 2024 that Mr. Le believed, and the Compensation Committee believes, are reasonable and consistent with the objectives of our executive compensation program. Each of these compensation elements satisfies one or more of our performance, alignment, and retention objectives, as described more fully below. Base Salary We provide cash compensation in the form of base salary to help (i) attract and retain talented executive officers and (ii) reward overall performance by our executive officers. For 2024, a competitive base salary was an important component of compensation as it provided a degree of financial stability for each of our executive officers other than Mr. Saylor. In September 2014, at Mr. Saylor’s request, the Compensation Committee reduced Mr. Saylor’s annual base salary to $1. The Compensation Committee considered that following the reduction in Mr. Saylor’s salary and elimination of his incentive cash bonus arrangement, substantially all of Mr. Saylor’s non-perquisitecompensation would be directly tied to the Company’s stock performance based on equity awards received by Mr. Saylor prior to 2024, which is consistent with the Company’s compensation policies approved by stockholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and that such change would not adversely impact his financial stability. The Compensation Committee considered Mr. Saylor’s compensation arrangements in each of February 2024 and February 2025 and, in each case at Mr. Saylor’s request, left his annual base salary at $1.
