#### CFO
As described in our 2024 proxy statement issued last year, the Committee approved the Simonelli Award - a retention and performance award for our CFO in the first quarter of 2024. The Simonelli Award is comprised of a $275,000 cash-based award and a $275,000 cash-settled restricted stock unit award, or CRSU. The CRSU award was granted and priced on the third trading day following the filing of our 2023 Annual Report in accordance with the Committee's general practice.

In granting the Simonelli Award, the Committee considered the criticality of our CFO's continuing leadership in managing the Company’s balance sheet and capital structure and in achieving the Company's 2024 cost savings goals.

The Committee determined in the first quarter of 2025 that the Simonelli Award was earned and payable based on her achievement of the two pre-established performance requirements: (i) attainment of the 2024 realized cost savings performance goal and (ii) the successful extension, refinancing, replacement or repayment of our Term A loans on or before November 9, 2024. Both the cash-based portion of the award and the CRSU portion of the award remain subject to repayment if Ms. Simonelli voluntarily terminates her employment with the Company (without Good Reason) prior to February 28, 2026. Per SEC rules, the cash-based portion of her award will be reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table as 2026 compensation in our 2027 proxy statement, while the CRSU portion of her award is reported in the Summary Compensation Table as an equity award for 2024.

#### CTO
As an inducement to his acceptance of employment with us, the Committee granted Mr. Wolfs a sign-on award of CRSUs valued at approximately $200,000 on February 24, 2024. The CRSU award vests in the three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant and, until vested, is subject to immediate forfeiture upon his termination, with or without cause.
