Insider Trading Policy and Hedging and Pledging Restrictions

<div align='center'>24</div>

The Board has adopted an insider trading policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”). The provisions of this policy expressly prohibit directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries from trading, either directly or indirectly, in securities of the Company after becoming aware of material nonpublic information related to the Company. To further ensure adherence with this policy, procedures have been established for setting blackout periods and permissible open trading windows, as well as advance notice of market transactions. The Insider Trading Policy provides guidance as to what constitutes material information and when information becomes public and addresses transactions by family members and under Company plans. The policy discusses the consequences of an insider trading violation as well as additional trading restrictions and reporting requirements applicable to directors, officers and designated key employees. The policy also contains guidelines and requirements related to the establishment of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with the new safe harbor requirements of Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1. Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits any director, officer, employee or consultant from engaging in “short sales” of our equity securities, publicly trading in options, short-term trading, and hedging transactions involving our equity securities, provided that our Board, or a committee comprised solely of independent members of our Board, may approve a hedging transaction so long as the transaction does not hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. Further, our Insider Trading Policy restricts our designated insiders from pledging our equity securities as collateral for a loan or otherwise unless the transaction is pre-cleared by our Insider Trading Compliance Officer. As a condition of pre-approving any pledge of our equity securities, any designated insider seeking to pledge securities must clearly demonstrate his or her financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. Our Insider Trading Policy and related Rule 10b5-1 trading plan requirements have been filed with the SEC as an exhibit (Exhibit 19.1) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31
