 of Equity-Based Awards to non-employee directors shall be made under usual circumstances on the third business day following the Company’s release of earnings for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, and such date shall serve as the grant date of such awards unless the Board (or the Compensation Committee, if authorized by the Board) determines otherwise. Non-employee directors who join the Board between annual grant dates will receive upon the date of their appointment a pro-rata grant of equity-based awards (in relation to time to be served between the date of appointment and the next grant date) in consideration for their partial year of service, unless the Board (or the Compensation Committee, if authorized by the Board) determines otherwise. The Compensation Committee does not believe that the Company has timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

No stock options were granted during 2024, and no stock options were outstanding at December 31, 2024.

#### Conclusion
The Compensation Committee believes that the 2024 compensation decisions for the Company’s named executive officers were reasonable and appropriate and consistent with the Company’s compensation principles.

Compensation Governance Best Practices

The Compensation Committee and management periodically review the compensation and benefit programs for the NEOs and other employees to ensure alignment with Company’s and the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and objectives. Accordingly, the Company adopted a number of practices over the last several years that are responsive to stockholder feedback and align with market-recognized best practices:
