On May 26, 2026, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") with market conditions dependent on total shareholder return ("TSR") to certain executives and senior employees. The vesting criteria for these awards are based on the Company's TSR performance relative to the TSR performance of the Company's current compensation peer group over thethree-year performance period, June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029, and conditioned upon neutral or positive free cash flow (i.e. cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures) at the end of each fiscal year in the performance period. The final payout of these PSUs will vary between 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, depending on the TSR performance and meeting the free cash flow requirements.
The grant date fair value per share is estimated at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs with a TSR market condition is recognized over the service period based on target probability.

|---|---|
| Expected Volatility | 92.1% |
| Risk-free rate | 4.0% |
| Service period | 3.0 years |
| Grant date fair value | $7.66 |
As of June 30, 2026, and 2025, the intrinsic value of the RSUs and PSUs outstanding, exercisable, and vested or expected to vest was $55.9 million and $50.1 million, respectively. There was approximately $21.9 million of total compensation costs related to stock-based awards not yet recognized as of June 30, 2026, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 0.9 years.

| Exercisable stock options as of June 30, 2026 | 227,000 | $1.80 | 6.9 | $635,600 |

As of June 30, 2026, there wereno unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options.
