The CNCG Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of any compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser that it retains. The Company bears all expenses of such service providers. The CNCG Committee did not retain a compensation consultant during fiscal year 2024. In 2025, the CNCG Committee engaged Semler Brossy, an independent compensation consulting firm, to assist in the review and development of the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Our CNCG Committee identifies individuals qualified to become board members, assists the Board in reviewing the backgrounds and qualifications of individuals being considered as director candidates, and recommends to the Board the director nominees for election by the stockholders, or appointment by the Board.

While the CNCG Committee has not adopted minimum criteria, it considers several qualifications when considering candidates for the Board. Among attributes the CNCG Committee takes into account are: experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability, dedication, conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the CNCG Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board. The CNCG Committee may also take into account legal and regulatory independence requirements. The CNCG Committee selects candidates who have a mix of experiences and backgrounds that will enhance the quality of the Board’s interactions and decisions. The CNCG Committee has the sole authority to retain or terminate any search firm to be used to identify director candidates and the sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms, such as fees to be borne by the Company.

The CNCG Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders for consideration as directors on the same basis it evaluates other candidates. For details on how stockholders may submit nominations for directors, see “Additional Information - Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before Next Year’s Annual Meeting.”
