#### Item 5.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Ms. Perera is a seasoned business leader with a 40-year career partnering with executive teams of private and Fortune 500 publicly-traded companies to define high-value strategies for top-and bottom-line growth. Ms. Perera retired from Deloitte as a senior partner in June 2019. During her tenure at Deloitte, she advised and led client service teams in areas of finance, mergers and acquisitions, technology transformation and business growth. She also worked with transitioning chief financial officers at Deloitte's CFO Transition Lab program. Her professional experience, including in finance, accounting and tax, bring important and valuable experience to the Board.

Ms. Pan has nearly two decades of experience in leading global engineering business units in Asia and the Americas for a publicly-traded company that specializes in helping clients in the underground and surface mining industries in China, North America and South America meet their engineering and material handling requirements. Her professional experience in addressing a variety of operational and strategic aspects relating to business and finance, engineering challenges, health, safety and environmental risks, sales and marketing efforts and human resource matters of mining companies brings important and relevant competencies and skills to the Board.

Ms. Pan's and Ms. Perera's terms will continue until the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Ms. Pan has been appointed to serve on the Health, Safety and Environmental Committee, as Chair, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Ms. Perera has been appointed to serve on the Audit Committee, the Health, Safety and Environmental Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as Chair.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Pan or Ms. Perera and any other persons as it relates to their appointments as directors. There are no family relationships between Ms. Pan or Ms. Perera and any director or executive officer of the Company, and neither Ms. Pan nor Ms. Perera have any direct or indirect interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

As new independent directors of the Company, Ms. Pan and Ms. Perera will be eligible to receive the standard compensation for non-employee directors in the form of an annual cash retainer ($120,000 for the full year) and an annual equity award delivered in restricted stock units (valued at $150,000 for the full year on the date of grant). Ms. Pan will also be eligible to receive an additional cash retainer for assuming the position of Chair of the Health, Safety and Environmental Committee ($10,000 for the full year) and Ms. Perera will be eligible to receive an additional cash retainer ($10,000 for the full year) for assuming the position as the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Perera will also be eligible to receive an additional cash retainer ($7,500 for the full year) for assuming the position as an Audit Committee member. On March 22, 2023, the Board approved a prorated equity award to Ms. Pan and Ms. Perera each valued at $14,795 as of the close of business on March 22, 2023, the date of grant, and also approved prorated cash retainer payments to Ms. Pan in the amount of $13,605 and Ms. Perera in the amount of $14,390 (which includes each of Ms. Pan's and Ms. Perera's committee Chair retainers and Ms. Perera's Audit Committee retainer). Their annual equity awards are subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the non-employee director awards authorized by the Board of Directors in April 2022 (which include a one-year vesting provision) except that the value of Ms. Pan's and Ms. Perera's awards are prorated. Ms. Pan and Ms. Perera will also be eligible to participate in the Company's Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan, pursuant to which they may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual cash and/or equity compensation.
