### COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
The table below sets forth the director compensation we accrued in the year ended December 31, 2024 (excluding compensation to our executive officers set forth in the summary compensation table).

Directors who are also executive officers (each, an “Excluded Director”) will not be entitled to receive any compensation for his or her service as a director, committee member or Chair of our board of directors or of any committee of our board of directors.

Our non-employee director compensation program is designed to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors. Our board of directors, on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, will be responsible for reviewing and approving any changes to the directors’ compensation arrangements. In consideration for serving on our board of directors, each director (other than Excluded Directors) will be paid an annual retainer. All directors will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while serving as directors.

The Compensation Committee awards options or restricted stock units for the non-employee members of board of directors. Under such program, we currently pay each non-employee director a cash fee, payable quarterly, of $2,500 per meeting for service on our board of directors. If a director is required to travel for a meeting, the director will be compensated for any preapproved travel costs and expenses. Each non-employee director receives a one-time initial stock option award for 161,290 shares of our common stock, which options shall vest in arrears in equal tranches monthly for one year. Each non-employee director shall also be eligible to receive grants of stock options, each in an amount designated by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, from any equity compensation plan approved by the Compensation Committee. In addition to such compensation, we reimburse each non-employee director for all pre-approved expenses within 30 days of receiving satisfactory written documentation setting out the expense actually incurred by such director. These include reasonable transportation and lodging costs incurred for attendance at any meeting of our board of directors.
