For more information regarding the EIP, see the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2025.

Additionally, the CN&G Committee granted Mr. Tinelli, contingent upon his employment, (i) an award of the Company's Class A Common Stock valued at $100,000 and (ii) an award of restricted stock units valued at $300,000, vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary date of his employment, in each case contingent upon his employment.

Mr. Tinelli will also be eligible to participate in the Company's benefit plans that are generally available to executive officers of the Company including the Company's Executive Severance Plan. Mr. Tinelli's continued employment with the Company is contingent on his obtaining within 18 months, and maintaining, a U.S. Department of Energy "Q" security clearance.
