Mr. Davis has extensive leadership, finance and governance experience, has served in an executive capacity in a broad range of industries and has led the restructuring efforts at a number of companies. Mr. Davis recently joined the Board of Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) in March 2024. During the past five years, Mr. Davis was a member of the board of directors of each of Aeromexico, Babylon Holdings Limited, Bluestem Group Inc., F45 Training Holdings Inc., GTT Communications, Inc., Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, Loyalty Ventures Inc., MediaMath Holdings, Inc., Parker Drilling Company, PGX Holdings, Inc., Skillsoft Corp., Verso Corporation, and VICI Properties Inc.

Mr. Davis will serve as the new Chairman of the Transaction Committee, a special committee of the Board. Mr. Davis will fill a vacancy in Class II on the Board of Directors and will hold such office until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. There are no transactions in which Mr. Davis had or has an interest that require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has also entered into an Independent Director Agreement (“Director Agreement”) with Mr. Davis in connection with his appointment.
