Executive Severance Pay Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”), effective August 1, 2024, which generally applies to the Company’s executive officers, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Executive Severance Plan provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to eligible executive officers in the event of (i) an involuntary termination of employment with the Company other than for Cause, or (ii) resignation for Good Reason (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Executive Severance Plan). In the event of an executive officers’ qualifying termination and subject to such executive officer’s execution of a general release of liability against the Company and other requirements as specified in the Executive Severance Plan, the Company would award the following payments and benefits to the eligible executive officers:
a lump sum payment of the (i) sum of (A) the executive officer’s base salary plus 100% of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs and (B) the prorated amount, based on the date of termination, of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, minus (ii) amounts payable under any government-mandated severance that does not prohibit offset and any any outstanding debt owed to the Company; and
a lump sum payment equal to such executive officer’s COBRA premiums over a 12-month period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no executive officer would be entitled to benefits under the Executive Severance Plan to the extent such executive officer will receive greater benefits under any other applicable contractual plan or arrangement. Additionally, the Board’s Human Resources and Compensation committee, as plan administrator, may, as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, authorize severance benefits in an amount different (greater or less) from the guideline amounts set forth in the Executive Severance Plan.
The foregoing description of the Executive Severance Plan is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Executive Severance Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

In the event of a qualifying termination and subject to the executive officer’s execution of a general release of liability against the Company and other requirements as specified in the CIC Agreement, the Company shall pay to such executive:
any accrued obligations, including (i) the executive officer’s earned but unpaid base salary through such officer’s termination, (ii) payment of any accrued paid time off, (iii) reimbursement of certain expenses and (iv) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for any year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination occurs;

a prorated amount of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs; and
a lump sum payment equal to such executive officer’s COBRA premiums over an 18-month period.
The CIC Agreement additionally includes confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and intellectual property covenants in favor of the Company, as well and indemnification provisions in favor of the applicable executive.
