ominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times during 2024. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter that is available to our stockholders at http://www.zevra.com . 40

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee appreciates the value of thoughtfully refreshing the Board over time, and regularly identifies and considers qualities, skills and other director attributes that would enhance the composition of the Board. The Committee continuously evaluates the need for refreshing the composition of the Board in light of its view that new and varied perspectives can provide a valuable benefit.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the ability to read and understand basic financial statements and having a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values and the ability to make mature business judgments.

However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time and within the context of the current needs of the Board and the Company with the goal to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability in various areas germane to the business.

In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee typically considers depth and variety of experience, age, skills and such other factors as it deems appropriate, given the current needs of the Board and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability. In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews these directors’ overall service to the Company during their terms, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence.
