In fiscal 2025, our compensation committee continued to engage Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm, to advise on our executive and non-employee director compensation strategy and guiding principles, our current executive total compensation levels relative to competitive market practices, our compensation peer group, and potential executive compensation decisions.

Compensia reports directly to our compensation committee and attends meetings of our compensation committee, as requested. Although our compensation committee considers the recommendations of Compensia as to our executive and non-employee director compensation programs, these recommendations are only one factor in our compensation committee’s decision-making process.

In fiscal 2025, Compensia did not provide any services to us other than the services provided to our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has assessed the independence of Compensia in fiscal 2025 taking into account, among other things, the factors set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C-1 and the listing standards of the NYSE, and has concluded that no conflict of interest exists with respect to the work that Compensia performs for our compensation committee.

#### Input
At our 2024 Annual Meeting, we conducted our stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. Our stockholders approved the fiscal 2024 compensation of our named executive officers, with approximately 93% support. The compensation committee reviews the voting results of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers and takes the results into consideration when reviewing and establishing the compensation of our named executive officers in the following fiscal year. Given stockholders’ strong support for our fiscal 2024 compensation for our named executive officers, the compensation committee did not make material changes to our executive compensation program.

#### Use of Competitive Data
To assess the competitiveness of our executive compensation program and to assist in setting compensation levels, we refer to the pay practices of our peer companies as well as industry surveys, including the Radford Global Technology Survey, and where appropriate, a broader set of industry comparable practices.

#### Competitive Positioning
With the assistance of Compensia, our compensation committee reviews and considers the compensation levels and practices of a group of peer companies. The compensation committee reviews our compensation peer group at least annually and adjusts its composition, as necessary, based on changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group.
