The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Pablo Barahona as an independent director of the Company, effective August 12, 2024.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Barahona and the Company or any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director. As of the date of the appointment, Mr. Barahona has not entered into or proposed to enter into any transactions required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with his appointment, Mr. Barahona and the Company entered into a letter agreement reflecting the terms of his appointment, including the cash and equity compensation payable to Mr. Barahona (the “Director Letter”). Pursuant to the Director Letter, Mr. Barahona will receive: (i) an annual cash retainer equal to $50,000, which, for 2024, will be prorated for the remaining portion of the year and with such payment made on or before December 1, 2024, and in subsequent years will be paid at the beginning of the year; (ii) a grant of 33,920 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that will vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service on the Board through and including the applicable vesting date; and (iii) a grant of 135,675 RSUs that will vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to continued service on the Board through and including the applicable vesting date.
