#### Agreement with JANA Partners
Mr. Ostfeld joined the Board in April 2022 after an affiliate of JANA Partners LLC ("JANA") notified us of its intent to nominate three candidates, including Scott Ostfeld, for election as directors of the Company at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Company entered into an agreement with JANA under which JANA agreed to cause the withdrawal of the nomination notice and pursuant to which the Company agreed to appoint Scott Ostfeld to the Company's Board for a term expiring at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Mr. Ostfeld was re-nominated by the Board on its own initiative for election at the 2023 Annual Meeting, and was re-elected by the stockholders for a term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Company's stockholders.

In connection with Mr. Ostfeld joining the Board in April 2022, JANA and the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and Mr. Ostfeld delivered a director resignation letter, which is only effective upon, among other things, breaches of Company policies or the Confidentiality Agreement or if JANA undertakes certain steps to run a proxy contest while Mr. Ostfeld is on the Board.
