TABLE OF CONTENTS

#### Initial Award
During fiscal year 2024, 10 upon joining our Board, a newly-elected non-employee director would receive an initial equity award having a grant date fair value equal to $200,000 multiplied by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is (x) 12 minus (y) the number of full months between the date of the last annual meeting of stockholders and the date the individual becomes a member of the Board and (2) the denominator of which is 12 (rounded to the nearest whole share) (“Initial Award”). The Initial Award was comprised of time-based RSUs. The Initial Award is granted on the date on which such person first becomes a non-employee director.

Subject to the terms of the policy, the Initial Award vests as to 100% of the shares subject thereto upon the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the day prior to our next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the individual’s continued service through the applicable vesting date.

The Annual Award was comprised of RSUs.
