#### Compensation Policies and Practices

#### Stock Ownership Guidelines
As described above, the Compensation Committee believes that equity ownership in the Company by our executive officers is essential to increasing shareholder alignment. The Company’s Stock Ownership Guidelines support this belief by providing that the Chief Executive Officer is required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to a multiple of three times his base salary and our Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers are required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to his or her base salary. Each executive officer has five years to satisfy the applicable guideline following his or her appointment as an executive officer. As of the date hereof, each of our NEOs who remain employed with us are in compliance with the policy or are in the grace period for compliance.

For purposes of these guidelines, “shares” include shares owned by the executive officer or by such person’s immediate family members residing in the same household (including shares held in trust for the benefit of the foregoing), and include unvested restricted stock awards (but not unexercised stock options).

#### Clawback Policy
In October 2023, our Board adopted a new Clawback Policy that complies with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the new Nasdaq listing standards. Under the policy, which applies to the Company’s current and former Section 16 officers, the Company must recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to very limited exceptions. Recovery is triggered in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement that correct errors that are material to previously issued financial statements, as well as restatements that correct errors that are not material to previously issued financial statements but would result in a material misstatement if (a) the errors were left uncorrected in the current report or (b) the error correction was recognized in the current period. The policy does not provide for enforcement discretion by the Board and requires recovery regardless of whether a covered person engaged in any misconduct or is at fault.

#### Anti-Hedging and Insider Trading Policy
Our Anti-Hedging Policy prohibits our employees, officers, and directors from engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Company’s securities, including through the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities, that are designed to or that may reasonably be expected to have the effect of hedging or
