of April 28, 2025, with an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). The Cooperation Agreement provides
for customary director replacement procedures in the event Mr. Carty ceases to serve as a director under certain circumstances as specified in the Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company has also appointed Mr.
Carty to the Audit Committee of the Board.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Scalar Gauge has agreed to abide by certain customary standstill restrictions, voting commitments, and other provisions, such as a
mutual non-disparagement provision, which will remain in effect until the date that is 15 days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2026 Annual Meeting.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is
