”). These mandatory ownership guidelines are intended to create a clear standard that encourages our directors to remain invested in the performance of the Company and the Company’s common stock. Each non-employee director has five years from the date that he or she is appointed to come into compliance with the guidelines. All of our non-employee directors met the guidelines as of December 31, 2024. Shares that count toward satisfaction of the Director Minimum Ownership Requirement, as determined by the Compensation Committee, include: (i) shares owned outright by the director or by his or her spouse or children sharing the same household; (ii) shares held in trust for the benefit of the director or for the benefit of his or her spouse or children sharing the same household; (iii) shares held through a fund or other entity as to which the director has control; (iv) common stock, stock units, or other stock equivalents obtained through the exercise of stock options or vesting of Company equity awards; and (v) shares of common stock that would be deliverable upon settlement of outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, in each case, that vest solely based on the passage of time or where the performance goals have been achieved. Shares that count toward satisfaction of the Director Minimum Ownership Requirement do not include (i) shares of common stock subject to outstanding and unexercised stock options or warrants, whether vested or unvested and whether exercisable or unexercisable; (ii) performance-based vesting restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards or other performance-based incentive awards to the extent applicable performance goals have not been achieved; and (iii) all other forms of derivative securities.

The aggregate grant date fair value of total equity compensation (consisting of RSUs and any other equity compensation) to any non-employee director in any calendar year in respect of such director’s service as a member of our Board or any Board committee during such year shall not exceed $750,000. Our Board has determined that imposing such a limit is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

We reimburse non-employee directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors of the Company.
