 and directors. We have found that equity-based awards are valued by our executives and employees. That sense of value, when coupled with multi-year vesting periods, and performance-based vesting in certain cases, serves to enhance retention of these employees as well as collaboration among them. We believe an A&R Plan is key to our long-term success and the future success of our stockholders. The A&R Plan will be used to align the long-term interests of our employees, with those of our stockholders and consistent with our M&A strategy .

TABLE OF CONTENTS our key employees and our stockholders’ long-term interests. Our long-term equity compensation program is a significant factor in achieving this goal and allowing us to have potential future headcount growth in the context of mergers and acquisitions. The Compensation Committee (which administers the 2024 Plan) recognizes its responsibility to strike a balance between stockholder concerns regarding the potential dilutive effect of equity awards and the ability to attract, retain and reward directors, officers and employees whose contributions are critical to the long-term success of the Company.
