A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Non-Public Information

Effective March 2, 2024, we adopted an Equity Grant Policy whereby all grants of Company securities to employees and consultants under our equity compensation plans, including option awards, shall be made on the next succeeding “Grant Date” after the date the Company has determined to issue the grant. Each of March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 are “Grant Dates” under the Equity Grant Policy, and if the Grant Date is not a business day, then the award shall be made on the business day immediately preceding the applicable Grant Date. While the policy provides that grants of options, stock appreciation rights, and similar instruments with option-like features shall not be timed in connection with the release of material non-public information, any grant of such awards made pursuant to the aforementioned “Grant Date” policywill not be deemed to violate the policy. Finally, the Equity Grant Policy permits our Board and/or the Committee the sole discretion to grant Company securities at a time other than as set forth above in extraordinary circumstances.
