 members of the Board who are “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. We have adopted a compensation committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and applicable Nasdaq standards. From time to time, a subcommittee of the compensation committee may approve equity awards to our officers who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

The compensation committee engages the human resources consulting division of Aon, plc (“Aon”) as our compensation consultant. From time to time, the compensation committee has instructed Aon to develop a peer group of companies in order to assess the competitiveness of our executive salary, bonus and equity compensation programs and our non-employee director compensation program, to present such data to our compensation committee and to make recommendations to the compensation committee regarding executive officer and non-employee director compensation. Aon reports exclusively to the compensation committee and does not provide any services to us other than services to the compensation committee. In selecting Aon as its independent compensation consultant, the compensation committee assessed the independence of Aon pursuant to SEC and Nasdaq rules and continues to do so annually. The compensation committee has concluded that Aon is independent, and that the Company does not have any conflicts of interest with Aon. Our compensation committee has retained AON to provide similar information and advice for fiscal year 2024 for consideration in establishing overall compensation for our executive officers and non-employee directors.
