 of our NEOs and is an important element of compensation intended to attract and retain highly talented individuals. Generally, we establish the initial base salaries of our NEOs through arm’s-length negotiation at the time we hire the individual NEO, taking into account competitive market data, his or her position, qualifications, experience, prior salary level, and the base salaries of our other NEOs. Thereafter, the Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of our NEOs annually and makes adjustments to base salaries as it determines to be necessary or appropriate.

The annual base salaries for our NEOs that were in effect as of the end of 2023 and 2024, respectively, are set forth below:

| NEO                  |     | 2023 Base Salary |     | 2024 Base Salary |     | Percentage Increase |
| Therese Tucker       |     |         $485,000 |     |         $500,000 |     | 3.1%                |
| Owen Ryan            |     |         $485,000 |     |         $500,000 |     | 3.1%                |
| Mark Partin          |     |         $430,000 |     |         $450,000 |     | 4.7%                |

| Karole Morgan-Prager |     |         $410,000 |     |         $440,000 |     | 7.3%                |

#### Annual Cash Bonus Opportunities
Each NEO participated in the 2024 Bonus Plan, which was designed to motivate our NEOs to drive “top line” growth (using a revenue goal) as well as “bottom line” profitability (using a non-GAAP operating margin goal).

Each NEO was assigned a target annual cash bonus opportunity for 2024, representing a percentage of his or her annual base salary. In February 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the target annual cash bonus opportunities of our NEOs for 2024, taking into consideration a competitive market analysis prepared by Compensia and the recommendations of our Co-CEOs (for all NEOs other than our Co-CEOs).
