Our Trustees and employees are required to deal with the Company on an arms-length basis in any related party transaction. Transactions between us and any of our Trustees or corporate officers must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Audit Committee approval is not required for us to enter into a lease with an entity in which any of our Trustees is a director, employee or owner so long as the lease is entered into in the ordinary course of business and is negotiated at arms-length and on market terms. We have no related party transactions with any of our Trustees that are required to be disclosed. During 2024, none of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) had any indebtedness to the Company or any relationship with the Company other than as an employee and shareholder and none of our current NEOs has any indebtedness to the Company or any relationship with the Company other than as an employee and shareholder.

The consulting agreement along with post-employment and change-in-controlarrangements between the Company and the NEOs are described in the “Potential Payments on Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control”section below.
