Amendment; Termination.The administrator will have the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 2024 ESPP. The 2024 ESPP will continue in effect for a term of 20 years, unless terminated sooner. If the administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the 2024 ESPP may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the administrator may modify, amend or terminate the 2024 ESPP to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence. If the 2024 ESPP is terminated, the administrator in its discretion may terminate all outstanding offering periods either immediately or after consummation of the purchase of shares of common stock under the 2024 ESPP (which may be adjusted to occur sooner than originally scheduled), or in accordance with their terms. If options are terminated prior to their expiration, then all amounts credited to participants that have not been used to purchase shares of common stock will be returned, without interest (unless otherwise required under applicable law), as soon as administratively practicable. Equity Compensation Plan Information The following table provides information as of December 31, 2024 with respect to shares of our common stock that may be issued under our existing equity compensation plans.
