<div align='center'>9</div>

#### Governance Overview
We are committed to maintaining robust governance practices and a strong ethical culture that benefits the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Company, with the oversight of the Board, regularly reviews, updates and enhances its corporate governance practices and compliance and training programs, as appropriate, in light of stockholder feedback, changes in applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange requirements and the evolving needs of our business. Our corporate governance and compliance practices include:

• Independent Oversight . A majority of the current directors of the Board (6 of 8) are independent directors, including a lead independent director role with well-defined responsibilities and fully independent Board committees, as defined by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Rules”) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Executive sessions of Board and Committee meetings are regularly held without management present.

• Annual Director Elections . All of our directors are elected annually.

• Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging . We prohibit all directors and executive officers from engaging in hedging transactions, including options (such as puts or calls) or other financial instruments (such as forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our securities. We also prohibit all directors and executive officers from pledging Company securities, unless specifically pre-approved by the Company’s Chief Legal Officer.

• Committee Charters . Each Board committee operates under a written charter that has been approved by the Board and annually reviewed and, if necessary, amended.

• Board and Committee Self-Evaluations . The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees an annual evaluation of the Board and its committees.

• Frequent and Robust Stockholder Engagement . The Company has a robust stockholder engagement program pursuant to which the Company participates in investor conferences and holds numerous meetings with stockholders to discuss various topics, including its financial performance, strategy, corporate governance, corporate responsibility practices and executive compensation program. During 2024, the Company engaged with stockholders representing approximately 73% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

• Stock Ownership Guidelines . Our directors and senior executives are subject to stock ownership
