4 Equity Plan may be designed to be subject to the requirements of Section 409A in form and in operation. For example, restricted stock units that provide for a settlement date following the vesting date may be subject to Section 409A. If an award under the 2024 Equity Plan is subject to and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, the recipient of that award may recognize ordinary income on the amounts deferred under the award to the extent vested, which may be prior to when the compensation is actually or constructively received. Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, Section 409A imposes an additional 20% federal penalty tax on compensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as interest on such deferred compensation. Registration of Shares If this proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Board intends to cause the additional shares of common stock that will become available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Plan to be registered on a Form S-8 Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC at the Company’s expense prior to the issuance of any such shares.

Those actions include: • approving amendments to certain provisions of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and approving or adopting amendments to certain provisions of the Bylaws that relate to: - Fixing the size of the Board, - Directors’ terms of office, - Providing advance notice of and making stockholder nominations of director candidates, - Filling newly created
