#### Long-Term Incentive Grant Practices
We generally grant annual equity-based awards in March of each year, in conjunction with our annual compensation review and approval process, although the exact timing may change from year to year. It is our practice to approve these annual equity-based incentive awards with a grant date which falls outside of our quarterly blackout period when trading in our securities is prohibited under our Insider Trading Policy. Equity awards granted to our Board of Directors generally have a grant date that falls on the date of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under our Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, the exercise price of stock options is equal to the closing stock price of our common stock during regular trading hours on the grant date, or, if there were no trades on that day, the latest preceding date upon which a trade was reported.

The Compensation Committee or its delegate may also considerand approve interim grants at other times of the year for new hires, in connection with promotions, for retention or other purposes from time to time based on business needs, changing compensation practices or other factors. These awards are generally approved on a quarterly basis with a grant date of the fifteenth of the month of approval.

It is not our practice to timethe disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. For the 2024 equity grants, no awards were approved within four business days before or one business day after the filing of a Form 10-Q, 10-K, or 8-K disclosing MNPI.
