Our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the compensation committee is “independent” as defined in the applicable Nasdaq rules. Each member of our compensation committee is a non-employeedirector, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgatedunder the Exchange Act. Role of Independent Compensation Consultant Pursuant to its charter, the compensation committee has the sole authority to retain compensation consultants or advisors to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities, including evaluating and determining executive and director compensation. During 2024, the compensation committee engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers (“ PwC”)as its independent compensation consultant. PwC provided the compensation committee with analyses, advice, guidance and recommendations on executive and director compensation levels compared to our peers, including market trends, and provided updates on executive compensation trends and developments. During 2024, PwC was also separately engaged by management to perform tax consulting and internal audit/risk management services for the Company. The aggregate amount of fees billed by PwC for these services in 2024 was $645,265 consisting of $24,000 for services related to compensation matters and $621,265 for tax consulting and internal audit/risk management services. In 2024, the Board approved the provision of tax consulting and
