 The Board has determined that Mr. Verjee is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Board has determined each of Mr. Verjee, Mr. More and Dr. McCracken are independent under the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq. All members of our Audit Committee are independent under Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and Nasdaq, which the Audit Committee will evaluate and review at least annually. The Audit Committee met four (4) times during 2024. Both our external auditor and internal financial personnel meet privately with the Audit Committee and have unrestricted access to this committee. Compensation Committee Our Compensation Committee reviews, approves and recommends to the Board policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers, employees and directors. The Compensation Committee approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers, evaluates the performance of these officers in light of those goals and objectives and approves the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves or makes recommendations to the Board regarding the issuance of stock options and other awards under our equity plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews and recommends to the Board compensation for service on the Board and any committees of the Board. The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority under its charter to one or more subcommittees as it deems appropriate from time to time as further described in its charter. The Compensation Committee will review and evaluate, at least annually, its charter, as well as review and evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the Compensation Committee and its members, including compliance by the Compensation Committee with its charter. The Compensation Committee has retained Aon Rewards Solutions (“Aon”), as its independent compensation consultant to advise the Compensation Committee on matters pertaining to director and executive compensation, including advising as to market levels and practices, plan design and implementation, comparable company data, consulting best practices and governance principles, as well as on matters related to employee equity compensation. Aon does not provide any other services to the Company. The Compensation Committee has determined, and Aon has affirmed, that Aon’s work does not present any conflicts of interest and that Aon is independent. In reaching these conclusions, the Compensation Committee considered the factors set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C
