, up to the statutorily prescribed annual limits on contributions under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Contributions are allocated to each participant's individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to such participant's directions. Employees are immediately and fully vested in their contributions. The Section 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the Section 401(k) plan’s related trust intended to be tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the Section 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employee until distributed from the Section 401(k) Plan. We match 50% of the first 5% of each participant's contributions.

During 2024, no perquisites were provided to our Named Executive Officers.

#### Post-Employment Compensation
We have entered into Amended and Restated Separation Pay Agreements (the "Separation Pay Agreements") with each of our Named Executive Officers. Each of the Separation Pay Agreements provides for "at will" employment (meaning that either we or the Named Executive Officer may terminate the employment relationship at any time without cause). The Separation Pay Agreements provide that, upon execution of a separation and release agreement in favor of the Company, the Named Executive Officer will receive certain payments and benefits in the event we terminate his or her employment "without cause" or he or she resigns for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the Separation Pay Agreement).

Further, in the event we consummate a "change in control" (as that term is defined in our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan) and either 90 days prior to or one year after such change in control, either (a
