#### Independence of Directors
Our Board determines the independence of our directors by applying the independence principles and standards established by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. These provide that a director is independent only if the board affirmatively determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with our company. They also specify various relationships that preclude a determination of director independence. Material relationships may include commercial, industrial, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, family and other business, professional and personal relationships.

Applying these standards, the board annually reviews the independence of our directors, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances. In its most recent review, the board considered, among other things, the absence of any current employment relationships between the company and our directors or their families (except in the case of William I Jacobs, who has served as our interim Chief Executive Officer since March 2025); the absence of any of the other specific relationships that would preclude a determination of independence under the rules of the NYSE; the absence of transactions with non-employee directors and members of their families that would require

No member of any committee may be a partner, member or principal of a law firm,
