 directors who have knowledge of a proposed related person transaction must report the transaction to our Chief Legal Officer. Whenever practicable, before the transaction becomes effective or is consummated, the proposed transaction will be reviewed and approved by the Board or, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, by the Chair of the Governance Committee, if the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $200,000 , or the entire Governance Committee, if the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $500,000 . If a potential related person transaction is entered into without such prior approval, the Governance Committee will review and recommend to the Board, and the Board will determine, in its discretion, whether to ratify the transaction. The Governance Committee and the Board reviewed all transactions since June 30, 2024 involving a “related person” identified in the annual questionnaire responses or otherwise known to the Board or the Company and determined that none of the transactions was required to be disclosed as a related person transaction pursuant to the SEC’s rules.
