Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of September 30, 2025, replacing Selim Freiha, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. On September 18, 2025, the Company and Mr. Freiha agreed that Mr. Freiha would depart from such position
effective September 19, 2025. Ms. Schwartz’s appointment as interim Chief Financial Officer will conclude on the earlier of (i) May 15, 2026, or (ii) 30 days from the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer.
Ms. Schwartz, age 46, served as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer from December 2022 to November 2024, and its Chief Accounting Officer from
March 2021 to May 2025. Prior to that, she served as the Company’s Vice President, Corporate Controller from August 2016 to March 2021. Ms. Schwartz received her M.S. degree in Accounting from the University of Virginia and B.S. degree in

employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause prior to May 15, 2026, if she resigns 30 days after the Company hires a Chief Financial Officer, or if she terminates her employment for any reason subsequent to May 15, 2026, she will be
entitled to (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the difference between $1,200,000 and any salary (before taxes, deductions, and withholdings) already paid under the Schwartz Offer Letter, and (ii) accelerated vesting of any outstanding unvested
portion of the foregoing RSUs. In addition, Ms. Schwartz will enter into an Indemnification Agreement based on the form previously approved by the Board and entered into with the Company’s other executive officers.
