#### 2024 Named Executive Officer Compensation
For 2024, the executive compensation program for our executive officers, including our NEOs, consisted of base salary, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives. Each component of the executive compensation program is described below:

#### Base Salary
Base salary is paid to attract and retain qualified talent and is set at a level that is commensurate with the executive’s duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience and sustained performance. When setting the annual base salaries of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers market data and our financial results and size relative to peer companies.

#### Annual Cash Bonus
We grant annual cash bonuses under our Equity Incentive Plan as a short-term incentive for our executive officers, including our NEOs. These annual cash bonuses are payable upon the achievement of certain pre-established corporate and individual goals or performance metrics. Annual cash bonuses are paid to incentivize the achievement of qualitative and quantitative performance metrics, with the target amount of an annual cash bonus (if any) predetermined by the Board, and the amount earned (if any), as determined by the Board, is typically paid during the first quarter of the following year.
