Previous report

Changes in key personnel could impair our ability to execute our business strategy.

Previous report

The continuing service of our executive officers and essential engineering, scientific and management personnel, together with our ability to attract and retain such personnel, is an important factor in our continuing ability to execute our strategy. On May 8, 2024, Dr. Stephen Schwartz, our President and Chief Executive Officer informed us of his intention to retire from these positions after more than 14 years of service. Dr. Schwartz will continue to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer until such time a new successor is appointed, after which we intend to retain Dr. Schwartz as an advisor, ensuring a smooth transition. There is substantial competition to attract such employees and the loss of any such key employees, including Dr. Schwartz during this transition period, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and the announcement of Dr. Schwartz’ retirement may increase stockholder activism focused on our company. The same could be true if we were to experience a high turnover rate among engineering and scientific personnel and we were unable to replace them. Our ability to attract and retain employees may be negatively impacted by employees’ reactions to our policies related working remotely, particularly in the United States. Any failure to attract, recruit, train, retain, motivate and integrate qualified personnel, in particular a new successor Chief Executive Officer, could materially harm our strategic plan, operating results and growth prospects.
