, oversight, and expertise from outside of our company, while Mr. Prince and Ms. Zatlyn each bring current company-specific experience, leadership, and insight as our Co-Founders and as our Chief Executive Officer and our President, respectively.

Our Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that provide that one of our independent directors should serve as our Lead Independent Director if the Chair is not independent. Our Board of Directors has appointed Scott Sandell to serve as our Lead Independent Director. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Sandell presides over periodic meetings of our independent directors, has authority to call additional meetings of the independent directors, meets regularly with our Co-Chairs and serves as a liaison between our Co-Chairs and our independent directors, facilitates effective and candid communication to optimize performance of the Board of Directors, and performs such additional duties as our Board of Directors may otherwise determine and delegate. The Board of Directors believes that our structure is appropriate and provides independent leadership and engagement from the Lead Independent Director, while providing the benefit of having our Chief Executive Officer and our President, the individuals with primary responsibility for managing the company’s day-to-day operations, co-chair regular Board of Directors meetings as key business and strategic issues are discussed.

#### Board Meetings and Committees
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Board of Directors held six meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she had been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served, other than Mark Anderson, whose attendance was below 75%.

Although our corporate governance guidelines do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board of Directors at annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend. All of our then-serving directors virtually attended our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the 2024 Annual Meeting).

Our Board of Directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board of Directors is described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board of Directors.
