. Bradbury had a dollar-denominated value of $150,000, and each award granted to each of our other non-employee directors had a dollar-denominated value of $75,000 (in each case, with the number of shares determined based on the IPO price per share of our Class A common stock in the IPO). Each award vested in full on January 16, 2025.

Messrs. Bennett and Bradbury were not granted equity awards in connection with the IPO.

Post-IPO Non-employee director compensation program

We adopted, and our stockholders approved, a compensation program for our non-employee directors, or the Director Compensation Program, which became effective in connection with the completion of our IPO on January 16, 2024. The Director Compensation Program provides for annual cash retainer fees and long-term equity awards for each of our non-employee directors. The material terms of the Directors Compensation Program for 2024 are summarized below.

The Director Compensation Program consists of the following components:

#### Cash compensation
• Annual Retainer: $70,000

• Lead Independent Director Retainer: $25,000

• Annual Committee Chair Retainer: $15,000

• Annual Non-Chair Committee Member Retainer: $5,000

Annual cash retainers will be paid in quarterly installments in arrears and will be pro-rated for any partial calendar quarter of service.

Such grant will vest in full on the earlier to occur of (i) June 4, 2025 and (ii) the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders for calendar year 2025, subject to
