The Board has determined that all of the Compensation Committee members meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the SEC. In addition, during 2024, none of the Compensation Committee members were present or former officers or employees of the Company, and none of the Company’s officers had an “interlock” relationship, as defined by the SEC.

#### Board Composition

#### Attendance at the Annual Meeting
The Company encourages, but does not require, its Board members to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Ten of the twelve then-serving members on the Board attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Rosa was appointed to the Board in July 2024. Consequently, he attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as an executive officer of the Company rather than as a director.
