 Du, Amado, and Chen and Messrs. Edmondson and Smiley participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) plan, a broad-based, defined contribution retirement plan in which all of our employees who are U.S. taxpayers and who meet certain age and service requirements are eligible to participate. We make a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 5% of the employee’s elective contributions under the plan, up to 5% of an employee’s eligible compensation. The annual value of the contributions to our retirement plan for 2024 for each named executive officer is reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table . We do not maintain a defined benefit pension plan or supplemental executive retirement plan.

During 2024, we did not provide our named executive officers with any perquisites.

#### Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers that govern the terms and conditions of their service relationship with us, including the terms and conditions related to their compensation and benefits. The term of Dr. Du’s employment is without a fixed period and subject to a specified notice period only. The compensation received by our named executive officers in accordance with these employment agreements is disclosed elsewhere in this CD&A .

Each of our named executive officers is afforded severance protection through his or her employment agreement. These severance protections are described in more detail below in Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control .

### Compensation Risk Management
The Compensation Committee has reviewed our compensation policies and practices and does not believe that these policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
