 following resignation to exercise vested options, but such one-year period was subject to extension at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In March 2024, our Board of Directors approved a modification of outstanding options held by our directors to provide that a non-employee director with less than five years of service on the Board of Directors that resigns has one year following resignation to exercise vested options. Non-employee directors with five years or more of service but less than ten years of service on the Board of Directors have two years following resignation to exercise vested options, and those non-employee directors with ten years or more of service have three years following resignation to exercise vested options. The terms of stock option award grants after March 2024 reflect the foregoing. This approved modification was accounted for under Topic 718 and resulted in an additional $1.1 million of expense in 2024.
