#### Board Structure and Committees

#### Board Structure and Meetings
Our business, property, and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for an independent director to serve as the non-executive chairman of the board who sets the agenda for, and presides over, board meetings, coordinates the work of the committees of our board of directors, and performs other duties delegated to the chairman by the board. The non-executive chairman also presides over independent sessions generally held at each board meeting. The board adopted this structure to promote decision-making and governance independent of that of our management and to better perform the board’s monitoring and evaluation functions. Members of the board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them, by visiting our offices and facilities, and by participating in meetings of the board and its committees.

Our board met five times during 2024. Each member of the board attended 75% or more of the meetings of the board and the committees on which he or she served during the year. In addition, it is our expectation that each director attend the annual meeting of stockholders. All members of our board attended the annual meeting in 2024.

The board currently has the four standing committees set out in the table below, each of which is governed by a charter and reports its actions and recommendations to the full board. Each committee has the authority to retain, at the expense of the Company, outside advisors, including consultants and legal and accounting advisors. In May 2024, in light of the overlap in responsibilities and membership and to further scheduling flexibility, the board voted to dissolve the Finance Committee and to incorporate responsibilities of the Finance Committee into the Audit Committee’s charter. The following table shows the number of meetings and the membership of each board committee as of December 31, 2024.
