 the foregoing awards should be time-based awards in light of uncertain and volatile market conditions.

The vesting of all equity awards granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2025 may be accelerated upon the termination of their employment under certain circumstances, as described under “Executive Compensation—Named Executive Officer Employment Agreements” and “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control”. See “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table” and “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards” for further details about these awards.

#### Equity Granting Practices
We do not grant equity awards on a predetermined schedule, but typically approve equity awards either at regularly scheduled meetings of our board of directors or during an open trading window. We have notgranted, nor do we intend to grant, stock options in anticipation of the release of material, nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and, we have nottaken, nor do we intend to take, material nonpublic information into account when determining the terms of stock options. Similarly, we have not timed, nor do we intend to time, the release of material, nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation or for any other purpose.

#### Severance and Change of Control
Our Board of Directors has adopted a change of control and severance policy, which applies to our named executive officers. The material terms of this policy and the change of control provisions in our equity incentive plans are set forth in “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

#### Other Compensation and Benefits
We maintain a tax‑qualified retirement plan, or the 401(k) plan, that provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax‑advantaged basis. See “Executive Compensation—401(k) Plan” below.

Under the ESPP, participants may purchase the Company
