#### Future Issuances Under the Plan
Under the Plan, shares are reserved in a number sufficient to satisfy the maximum shares that may be issued under an award. Shares awarded under the Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise shall again be available for awards under the Plan, but shares that are used to cover tax withholding or option exercise prices cannot be reused under the Plan.

As of April 11, 2025, approximately 61 persons were eligible to receive awards under the Plan, including all of our executive officers and non-employee directors.

Future grants under the Plan will be made at the discretion of our Board or the Compensation Committee, and, accordingly, future benefits under the Plan are not currently determinable. The 2024 Summary Compensation Table appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement shows the equity awards that were made under the Plan in 2022, 2023 and 2024 to our named executive officers.

On April 11, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.06. Because the Company’s share price is low based on a historical basis, more shares are needed to provide the value needed to recruit and retain key employees and management.
