Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines to assist it in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve the interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors currently consists of the following four members: Mark L. Baum (Chair), Adrienne L. Graves, Lauren P. Silvernail, and Perry J. Sternberg (Lead Independent Director). The Board has determined that Ms. Graves, Ms. Silvernail, and Mr. Sternberg, comprising a majority of our current Board, are “independent” directors, as that term is defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). Mr. Baum is not independent because he currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Both Teresa L. Sparks, who served on the Board until the 2024 Annual Meeting, when her term expired, and Martin A. Makary, who served on the Board until his resignation on January 17, 2025, were deemed by the Board to be independent during their service on the Board.

Nominations for Directors

Our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates and recommends to the Board of Directors nominees for each election of directors. There are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees; rather, in considering potential new directors, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee considers a variety of factors and may identify and evaluate individuals from various disciplines and backgrounds. Among the qualifications to be considered in the selection of candidates are the following: broad experience in business, finance or administration; familiarity with the Company’s industry; prominence and reputation in a particular profession or field of endeavor; and whether the individual has the time available to devote to the work of the Board and one or more of its committees. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee also reviews the activities and associations of each candidate to determine the independence of the candidate under applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules and to ensure that there is no legal impediment, conflict of interest or other consideration that might hinder or prevent service on the Board. In addition to these factors, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem relevant or in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes that under applicable regulatory requirements at least one member of the Board must meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules. Further, although the Company does not have a formal diversity policy, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to nominate
