EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section sets forth the compensation of our principal executive officer and our other two most highly compensated executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (collectively, our “NEOs”).  Our NEOs are:

      • 
      Matthew Fisch, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; 

      • 
      Andrew S. Hughes, our General Counsel and Secretary; and 

      • 
      Conor B. Tierney, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.  Accordingly, we have not included in this section a compensation discussion and analysis of our executive compensation programs or tabular compensation information other than the “Summary Compensation Table” and the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table below.  In addition, for so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to submit certain executive compensation matters to our stockholders for advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency” votes.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

The following table sets forth the compensation of our NEOs for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (referred to herein as fiscal year 2024) and our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (referred to herein as fiscal year 2023).
