In addition, in connection with the adoption of the Fiscal 2025 Executive Bonus Plan, the compensation committee established a separate pool of discretionary cash incentive compensation. Senior executives that participate in the Fiscal 2025 Executive Bonus Plan including the named executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer are eligible for discretionary cash incentive compensation upon the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer and approval by our compensation committee. The discretionary cash incentive compensation pool would only be funded up to a maximum of ten percent of the total cash incentive compensation pool, if the weighted average of the total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA achievement percentages, without regard to the respective multipliers, exceeded 50%. Messrs. Bond and Shin received an additional $34,212 and $22,238, respectively, under this discretionary cash incentive compensation pool.

Accordingly, the cash incentive compensation payable to the named executive officers under the Fiscal 2025 Executive Bonus Plan was:

| Named Executive Officer |     | Fiscal 2025 Executive Bonus Plan Cash Incentive Compensation Payable ($) |         |
| Michael Walrath(1)      |     |                                                                          |       — |
| Darryl Bond             |     |                                                                          | 286,341 |
| Ho Shin                 |     |                                                                          | 186,122 |

(1) Mr. Walrath was not eligible for a bonus in fiscal 2025 under the Employee Incentive Plan. On January 29, 2025, our compensation committee awarded Mr. Walrath a one-time cash bonus of $500,000. See “Walrath Cash Bonus” below for further detail.

Walrath Cash Bonus

On January 29, 2025, the compensation committee awarded Michael Walrath a one-time cash bonus of $500,000 (the “Walrath Bonus”). The Walrath Bonus was awarded in recognition of the successful work Mr. Walrath has performed since being appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, particularly in achieving significantly greater operational efficiency for the Company. In awarding the Walrath Bonus, the Compensation Committee also considered the fact that Mr. Walrath has not received any cash compensation to date for his service as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
