 between our shareholders’ interests and our employees, executive officers, directors, and advisors. The Compensation Committee - and the Board - believe that this link is key to the future success of the Company and have been working to implement changes in the Company’s compensation programs to emphasize equity compensation. A more prominent role for equity compensation in our programs also enhances equity ownership in the Company by our employees, executive officers, and directors, which our Compensation Committee and Board believe is essential to increasing shareholder alignment. The Compensation Committee firmly believes that the Company can best attract and retain key talent by providing attractive “upside” growth opportunity if our leadership succeeds in improving our Company’s past performance, which is directly aligned with our shareholder interests. For further information on our equity award program for our NEOs, please see the below discussion under “-Equity Awards.” |

Other elements of our compensation program include base salary, annual bonuses, and limited perquisites. For more information, please see the below discussion under “Fiscal Year 2025 Executive Compensation.”

| The Compensation Committee is responsible for annually reviewing and recommending to the Board for approval the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, evaluating the executive officers’ performance in light of those goals and objectives, and recommending for approval to the Board the executive officers’ compensation levels based on this evaluation. |     | From time to time, the Compensation Committee may seek input and recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer regarding the compensation of other executive officers; however, the Chief Executive Officer is not present during voting or deliberations on his compensation. |     | Our Compensation Committee engaged Aon’s Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon PLC (“Aon”), otherwise known as McLagan, as its executive compensation consultant beginning during fiscal year 2022. In this capacity, Aon advised the Compensation Committee on the structure and design of our executive compensation program, including the amount and mix of compensation for fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, on the Company’s comparative peer group, and director compensation. |
