As a non-employee director, Mr. Romer will receive compensation in the same manner as the Company's other non-employee directors, which director compensation program is described under "Executive and Director Compensation and Other Matters" in the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2025.

The Company will enter into its standard form of Indemnification Agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement") with Mr. Romer. The Company's form of Indemnification Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Romer and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no transactions involving Mr. Romer that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
