 year ended December 31, 2024. Because our Insider Trading Procedures are designed to address transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, and employees, we do not have formal insider trading policies or procedures that govern our purchase of our securities.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have stock ownership requirements for our directors and executive officers. The purpose of the ownership requirements is to further our goal of increasing stockholder value and to align the interests of our directors and key executives with the interests of our stockholders. Satisfaction of the policy requires that individuals attain and retain holdings of our common stock with a cost basis equal to the following multiple of the individual's compensation, defined as either a director's cash retainer fee or an officer's base salary:

5x for the CEO and President;

5x for non-employee directors; and

3x for all other executive officers.

An individual's cost basis is equal to (1) his or her actual cost, in the case of purchases in the open market, (2) the fair market value of the shares at the date of exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights, or (3) the fair market value of the shares at the date of vesting of restricted stock or performance units. Each person's stock ownership requirement will be adjusted annually each January 1 to reflect any changes in his or her retainer or base salary. For the purpose of counting the shares owned, only vested share equivalents under Company-sponsored plans will count as shares owned. Share equivalents will not include any amounts attributable to outstanding unexercised stock options or unvested equity awards.

Individuals have a five-year period to attain his or her stock ownership requirements. At any time at which the individual's stock ownership requirement has not been met, including during the initial five-year period to attain compliance, the individual will be required to retain at least 50% of "Net Shares" received upon vesting of restricted stock and performance units. "Net Shares" are defined to include shares of common stock that are owned by the individual after shares are used to pay applicable withholding taxes. Subsequent to achieving the initial stock ownership requirement, all directors and executives are required to continuously maintain stock ownership at their specified levels.

If an individual does not meet the applicable ownership requirements, then he or she is subject to certain restrictions upon the vesting of equity awards, and may only dispose of shares for particular reasons set forth in the policy and upon receipt of permission for the transfer by the Corporate Secretary.
