Additionally, under this policy, each non-employeedirector who continues to serve as a non-employeemember of our Board, following the annual meeting of our stockholders is eligible to receive an option to purchase 39,200 shares (or, for the Chairman of the Board, 49,200 shares) of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant. These stock options will vest and become exercisable in full on the earliest of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date, (ii) the day before the first annual stockholders meeting occurring after the grant date or (iii) immediately prior to a change in control of the Company, subject in each case to the director’s continued service on such vesting date. In addition to the amounts above, upon the commencement of a non-employee director’s initial term of service to the Board, such individual will automatically be granted a stock option covering 1.5 times the number of shares covering the annual grants to non-employee directors. The initial grants will vest and become exercisable in three equal installments on the date that is one day prior to the date of the first three annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company (and, in each case, subject to continued service on the Board). Following the annual non-employeedirector compensation policy reviews undertaken by the Board, and based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee after consultation with Alpine, the Board elected to revise the policy, effective February 15, 2025 (the Tenth Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy). The table below summarizes cash compensation to be paid under the policy as amended. 69
