#### Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy
In August 2023, we adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy that replaced our previous Executive Compensation Clawback Policy. If we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement, the Compensation Recovery Policy requires (subject to certain limited exceptions described in the policy and permitted by the final clawback rules) that we recover erroneously awarded compensation received by any current or former executive officer in the three fiscal years prior to the date we were required to restate our financial statements that is in excess of the amount that would have been received based on the restated financial statements. In addition, in the event that the Board determines that an executive officer’s misconduct contributed to the cause of the financial restatement, the Compensation Recovery Policy permits the Company to recover up to 100% of the incentive-based compensation received by such executive officer during the three fiscal years preceding the date that we were required to restate our financial statements.

Similarly, it is our practice not to time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. We do not grant stock options to our employees or executives.

Pursuant to our Severance and Change in Control Agreements, in the event an executive officer’s employment is terminated involuntarily by the Company without cause, as defined in the applicable agreement, and provided the employee executes a full and irrevocable release of
