 on or after October 2, 2023. Our prior compensation recovery policy, adopted in 2019, remains in effect for compensation received prior to October 2, 2023.

• Appropriate Compensation Risk. We structure our executive compensation programs to minimize the risk of inappropriate risk-taking by our executives.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation —“Say-on-Pay” Vote

We conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation, or say-on-pay vote, on an annual basis. At our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 94.3% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal supported the proposal, which we believe indicates strong support for our executive compensation program as currently structured. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, and we believe that it is important for our stockholders to have an opportunity to vote on this proposal annually, which is consistent with the frequency preferred by our stockholders who voted on the preferred frequency in 2023. Our Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding compensation for 2024 reflected our say-on-pay vote result at our stockholder meeting in 2023.

Our Compensation Committee considered the results of the advisory vote in the context of our overall compensation philosophy, policies and decisions. After discussing the levels of support each year in favor of the proposals, and considering the Compensation Committee’s continued use of the measures we adopted in response to previous advisory votes to further align management and stockholder interests, our Compensation Committee decided to generally maintain a consistent course for 2025 compensation decisions.
