Insider Trading Policy We have adoptedan insider trading compliance policy that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other transactions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees, and has implemented processes for our company, that we believe arereasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq listing standards. Compensation Risk Analysis The Compensation Committee has concluded that ACI’s compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on ACI. The Compensation Committee believes that the following features of its compensation program help ensure that management performance is focused on long-term stockholder value creation without encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk-taking:

| • |     | A balance of fixed and variable compensation, with variable compensation tied to both short-term and long-term objectives; |

| • |     | Annual incentive awards tied to ACI’s financial performance, with caps on payout amounts; |

| • |     | The use of time-based and performance-based equity awards that generally vest, if at all, over several years and align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders; |

| • |     | The Compensation Committee’s ability to exercise discretion in determining incentive program payouts; |

| • |     | A recoupment and forfeiture policy pertaining to annual incentive payouts and long-term incentive equity awards applicable to all employees, including our executive officers; and |

| • |     | Stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers that further align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders. |
