#### Health and Welfare and Retirement Benefits
Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in benefits available generally to salaried employees, such as participation in our 401(k) plan in the United States, paid time off, and holiday, in each case on the same basis as our other employees.

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of benefits provided to executive officers to ensure that they remain reasonable and consistent with its compensation philosophy. Our Board may elect to adopt qualified or nonqualified benefit plans in the future, if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.

#### Perquisites
We generally do not provide significant perquisites or personal benefits to our executive officers.

#### Employment Agreements and Severance Benefits
We provide our executive officers with certain severance protections in their employment agreements in order to attract and retain an appropriate caliber of talent for such positions. Our employment agreements with the named executive officers and the severance provisions set forth therein are summarized below under “Employment Arrangements” and “Potential Payments and Benefits upon Termination or Change in Control.” Our Compensation Committee intends to periodically review the level of the benefits in these agreements.

#### Employment Arrangements
We are currently party to employment agreements with Messrs. Mack and Fuggetta in their roles as our current executive officers. During his tenure as our Chief Financial Officer, we were also party to an employment agreement with Mr. Ballantyne. During his tenure as our Chief Executive Officer, we were party to an employment agreement with Mr. Alder, and upon his resignation in June 2024, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Alder, as discussed further below.

The agreements set forth the terms and conditions of each such individual’s employment with us, including base salary or fees for service, bonus opportunity and eligibility for employee benefits. Additionally, either in such agreements or in the ancillary agreements thereunder, our named executive officers have certain continuing obligations set forth in certain non-solicitation and non-competition provisions. Our agreements with Messrs. Mack, Fuggetta, Alder, and Ballantyne set forth certain severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment. Any potential payments and benefits due upon a qualifying termination or a change in control are further described below under “Potential Payments and Benefits upon Termination or Change in Control
