Recoupment Policy

The Company’s recoupment policy generally provides that:

• if the Company is required to restate its financial results, the Company will attempt to recover reasonably promptly from each executive officer the amount of any erroneously awarded compensation that was received by such officer;

• the Board has discretion to recoup performance-based annual, or performance-based and time-based long-term cash or equity, incentive payments (collectively, "incentive compensation") paid to an elected officer in the event of a restatement or if an elected officer engages in illegal conduct that causes significant financial or reputational harm to the Company;

• the Board has discretion to recoup incentive compensation paid to the elected officer in the event the elected officer fails to report misconduct of another, or is grossly negligent in fulfilling his or her supervisory responsibilities to prevent such misconduct; and

• the CEO has discretion to recoup under similar circumstances incentive compensation provided to non-elected officers or other employees.

The Company’s recoupment policy includes a three-year look back for recovery of the erroneously awarded compensation or other incentive compensation. It also provides for certain disclosure in the event of recoupment, consistent with SEC and other legal requirements. The Company's Recoupment Policy is filed as Exhibit 97 to our 2024 Form 10-K.
