 of December 31, 2024, which was approved by our stockholders. Our stockholders have approved all of our equity compensation plans.

| Award(1)                      |     | Number of securities to be 
    issued upon exercise of 
       outstanding options, 
        warrants and rights

 price of outstanding options, 
 warrants and rights           
 

#                             |     | Number of securities              
 remaining available for           
 future issuance under equity

| Stock Options                 |     |                          — |     | N/A                           |     |                                   |
| Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) |     |                  4,086,257 |     | N/A(2)                        |     |                                   |

| 1. | All equity-based compensation is granted pursuant to plans that have been approved by our stockholders. |

| 2. | RSUs include unvested TRSUs and PRSUs and vested but not settled stock units, TRSUs and PRSUs. A weighted average exercise price is not applicable for our RSUs, as such equity awards result in the issuance of shares of our Common Stock provided that such awards vest and, as such, do not have an exercise price. As of December 31, 2024, 2,802,221 RSUs were vested, and 463,865 RSUs were subject to time-based vesting, and 820,171 RSUs will vest subject to achieving a market condition based on total stockholder return as measured on an absolute basis and relative to the TSR of a group of peer companies. |

| 3. | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans excludes RSUs presented in the table, which were granted prior to December 31, 2024, and remained outstanding at such date. In addition, the number of securities remaining available for issuance does not reflect 497,485 TRSUs and 802,532 PRSUs, which were granted after December 31, 2024. |
