 either (1) the maximum number of shares of common stock purchasable in total by all participants on any one purchase date as in effect under an offering or offerings, or (2) the number of shares of common stock then available for issuance under the Purchase Plan, then a pro rata allocation of the available shares of common stock will generally be made in as nearly a uniform manner as practicable and equitable. In such an event, the plan administrator will refund the accumulated payroll deductions of each participant, to the extent in excess of the purchase price payable for the shares of common stock prorated to such individual.

#### 2025 Proxy Statement53
| PROPOSAL 3 — Approval of Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended |

#### Amendment and Termination
Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Purchase Plan at any time, including amendments to or terminations of outstanding purchase rights. However, our Board of Directors must seek stockholder approval of any plan amendment to the extent necessary to satisfy applicable laws or listing requirements that (1) increases the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Plan (other than pursuant to adjustments permitted under the Purchase Plan), (2) alters the purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price, (3) materially increases the benefits accruing to participants, or (4) materially modifies the requirements for eligibility to participate in the Purchase Plan.

#### Plan Benefits
Participation in the Purchase Plan is voluntary and each eligible employee makes his or her own decision whether and to what extent to participate in the Purchase Plan. In addition, our Board of Directors has not approved any grants of purchase rights that are conditioned on stockholder approval of the amendment to our Purchase Plan. Accordingly, we cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares that will be received in the future by individual employees or groups of employees under the Purchase Plan. Our non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan.

The table below shows, as to the listed individuals and specified groups, the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchased under the Purchase Plan, since its adoption through January 31, 2025.
