-in-force, our compensation committee decided to award discretionary bonuses to certain continuing employees to improve morale and promote retention of those employees. The compensation committee decided that our continuing executive officers should participate in this bonus program. Pursuant to this program, Mr. Bruun, Ms. Feingold and Mr. Pike received discretionary bonuses of $118,727, $42,535 and $23,494, respectively, in March 2024. Messrs. Kuebel and Balog did not receive bonuses under this program. Pay Practices . We do not use certain executive pay practices that stockholder advocates consider to be problematic. For example, we do not provide extensive perquisites to our named executive officers, we have a “double-trigger” requirement for executives to receive cash severance and equity vesting upon a change of control, and we do not provide any tax gross-ups. We also have no guaranteed salary increases. Consultant Independence . Our compensation committee’s independent consultant is retained directly by the compensation committee, provides no other services to us, and has provided the compensation committee with a written attestation of its independence from management. Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following resolution: RESOLVED: That the compensation paid to the corporation’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the corporation’s proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures, be, and it hereby is, approved. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the annual meeting. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. The outcome of this advisory vote will not determine or overrule any decision by our directors or officers, create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of our directors or officers or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for our directors or officers. However, our compensation committee and board of directors value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for named executive officers.

| ​ | ​ | Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you voteFORthe approval of the compensation of our named executive officers for 2024, as described in the executive compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in this proxy statement. | ​ | ​ |
