ed equity awards in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plans, except as otherwise determined by our Board. However, the agreements for equity awards granted to our CEO pursuant to our 2013 Incentive Plan and our 2021 Incentive Plan provide that, upon a change in control of the Company, the vesting of such awards will accelerate only in the event of a subsequent involuntary termination of employment (a “double-trigger” arrangement). For detailed descriptions of the post-employment compensation arrangements we maintained with our NEOs during fiscal 2024, as well as an estimate of the potential payments and benefits payable under these arrangements, see “Termination Benefits - Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

#### Other Compensation Policies and Practices
Equity Awards Grant Policy

We do not have any program, plan, or obligation that requires us to grant equity awards on specified dates, although historically we have granted such awards to our existing executive officers and employees at least annually and to newly-hired employees upon the commencement of their employment.

We do not have any program, plan or practice to grant equity awards of our common stock to our executive officers in coordination with the release of material nonpublic information. Equity awards may occasionally be granted following a significant change in job responsibilities or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. Authority to grant equity awards to our employees rests with the Compensation Committee, although the Compensation Committee has delegated authority to our CEO to grant equity awards to non-executive employees within prescribed limits set by the Compensation Committee. With respect to our executive officers, except for our CEO, recommendations for equity awards are made by our CEO and reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Under the terms of our 2021 Incentive Plan, pursuant to which new equity awards are granted, the exercise price of any option to purchase shares of our common stock awarded under the plan must be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock (which is determined based on the closing sales price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market) on the date of grant.

Stock Ownership Policy

We maintain a stock ownership policy for our CEO and CFO to further align their respective interests with the interests of our stockholders, and to further promote our commitment to sound corporate governance. This policy requires our CEO to own a minimum number of shares of our common stock equal to a value of six times his annualized base salary and our CFO to own a minimum number of shares of our common
