Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Oversight of Executive Compensation Program

Our Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee that operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Vincent Della Volpe, David Kong and Gloria Ballesta. Mr. Della Volpe is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee. All of the members of the Compensation Committee meet the compensation committee independence standards of the NYSE American. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the Compensation Committee members have any material business relationships with the Company. The independence of the Compensation Committee members is re-assessed regularly by the Company.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and administering the Company’s executive and director compensation.

The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, as stated in its charter, include the following:

The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing the executive compensation philosophy and reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors for approval all compensation policies and compensation programs for the executive team.

Since May 2012, consistent with good governance practices, the Compensation Committee retains on an annual basis an independent compensation advisor to provide advice on the structure and levels of compensation for our executive officers and directors and to undertake a comprehensive review of our incentive plans. In Fiscal 2024 the Compensation Committee once again retained Global Governance Advisors (“GGA”) to provide independent compensation advice to the Compensation Committee and to the Board of Directors. GGA is an internationally recognized, independent advisory firm that provides counsel to boards of directors on matters relating to executive compensation and governance. GGA is retained to continually review the compensation levels for the Company’s executive officers and directors and short and long-term incentive plans, and to evaluate and make recommendations on the Company’s overall executive and director compensation philosophy, objectives and approach.

GGA’s services in Fiscal 2024 included:

Fees paid for GGA’s services for our last two fiscal years were $70,461 and $44,398 for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024, respectively.

The Compensation Committee reviews all fees and the terms of consulting services provided by GGA.

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

In Fiscal 2024, with the recommendations put forth by GGA (the “GGA Recommendations”), the Compensation Committee maintained the following general principles in determining its executive and non-executive director total compensation plans.

The Company recognizes that people are our primary asset and our principal source of establishing a competitive advantage. In order to recruit, motivate and retain the most qualified individuals as senior executive officers, the Company strives to maintain an executive compensation program that is competitive in the mining industry, which is a competitive, global labor market.

The Compensation Committee’s objective is to establish a compensation program that is designed to align with industry trends and attract and retain the best available talent while efficiently utilizing available resources. These objectives are achieved primarily through base compensation and equity compensation designed to be competitive with comparable companies, and to align management’s compensation with the long-term interests of stockholders. In determining executive management’s compensation, the Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the performance and financial condition of the Company.

In order to accomplish our goals and to ensure that the Company’s executive compensation program is consistent with its direction and business strategy, the compensation program for our senior executive officers is based on the following objectives:

The following key principles guide the Company’s overall compensation philosophy:

Benchmarking Compensation and Peer Groups

In Fiscal 2024 the Compensation Committee commissioned a Peer Group review from GGA as part of a competitive compensation market update review of executive and director compensation in order to stay abreast of changes in the external market and to ensure that the Company continued to benchmark compensation with appropriate market comparators. In addition to external market trends, the Compensation Committee considered the complexity of the Company and the range of size of several of the appropriate comparable companies and, with the GGA Recommendations provided to them, revised the Peer Group from the prior year to address changes in the external market and to better reflect our Company’s business. The Peer Group remained relatively consistent with the prior year and included uranium and precious metals mining and oil and gas companies, publicly traded on major Canadian and American exchanges, of similar size to the Company (0.25 to four times), primarily from a market capitalization perspective, but also considering other factors such as total assets. The Company’s market capitalization was positioned slightly below the median of the Peer Group at the time of the GGA Recommendations. The Peer Group was used by the Compensation Committee to establish the compensation levels for the Company’s executive officers and its Board of Directors.

In Fiscal 2024, with the GGA Recommendations, the Company’s compensation philosophy aimed to align both our executive officers’ and Board of Directors’ compensation around the median of the Peer Group. At the time of the Peer Group review, the Company was positioned at the 46 th percentile on a market capitalization basis, and at the 37 th percentile on a total assets basis compared with the Peer Group.

In Fiscal 2024 the following companies were removed from or added to the Peer Group:

The peers removed from the Peer Group were linked to either the Company outgrowing on a size basis, or from an operations perspective tied to being less relevant to the Company’s operations. The peers added to the Peer Group were approved on the merit of industry/sector relevance where the Company is directly competing for talent, operations and size. Overall, adjustments made for the Peer Group were completed to address the Company’s operational and overall year over year total asset growth. When examining peer alternatives, a balanced approach that examined shareholder and other uranium mining company peer groups was used to ensure that the Peer Group aligned within market norms.

In Fiscal 2024 the Peer Group was comprised of the following companies:

Compensation Elements and Rationale

The Company’s executive compensation program consists of: base compensation; short-term incentive awards; and long-term incentive equity compensation.

Base Compensation

Base compensation is the foundation of the compensation program and is intended to compensate competitively relative to comparable companies within our industry and the marketplace where we compete for talent. Base compensation is a fixed component of the compensation program and is used as the base to determine elements of incentive compensation and benefits.

The base compensation paid to our executive officers is more particularly described below under “Executive Services Agreements”.

Short-Term Incentive Awards

The Company’s short-term incentive plan (the “STIP”) is a variable component of compensation and has the objective of motivating the executive officers to achieve corporate objectives over a one-year period and to provide a means to reward the achievement of corporate milestones and fulfillment of the Company’s annual business plan. The STIP provides an opportunity for an annual cash payout based on performance relative to the achievement of corporate performance goals and metrics. The STIP has a maximum payout opportunity, which is 200% of each executive officer’s target STIP.

The Compensation Committee establishes STIP performance goals, metrics, weightings and targets in the first quarter of each fiscal year. Each of our executive officers has a target STIP set as a percentage of their base compensation (each, a “Target Award”), with payouts based on a performance multiplier dependent on corporate performance. The performance multiplier and payouts achieved can range between 0% and 200% of each Target Award. No payout is awarded if the Compensation Committee deems that the Company failed to achieve performance goals. To determine Target Awards our Compensation Committee considers the breadth, scope and complexity of each executive officer’s role, internal equity and whether the executive officer's incentive compensation is competitive relative to similarly situated executives at companies in our Peer Group.

The following sets forth the formula for payment of STIP awards.

The following sets forth the Target Awards expressed as a percentage of base compensation along with the corresponding corporate performance weightings for Fiscal 2024 for the Company’s executive officers, other than Mr. Berg. Mr. Berg joined the Company on March 21, 2024 and did not participate in the STIP.

Performance Scorecard

The Compensation Committee establishes a performance scorecard in the first quarter of each fiscal year that sets out performance goals and metrics to guide and motivate the executives to execute on our strategy. At the end of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee evaluates actual performance relative to the performance goals and metrics and recommends to the Board of Directors the payment of STIP awards. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors may exercise discretion to pay cash bonuses outside of the STIP and to not pay STIP awards even if performance awards are earned.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee selected performance goals and metrics within a performance scorecard. At the end of Fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee evaluated the performance achieved relative to the performance goals and metrics and assigned each of the executive officers an award at 200% of target. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors exercised discretion to set the payouts awarded to Messrs. Obara and Melbye to 180% and 140% of target, respectively, to factor the respective executive responsibilities and contributions at UEC throughout Fiscal 2024.

The following sets forth the performance scorecard for Fiscal 2024.

The following sets forth the STIP awards paid to our executive officers for Fiscal 2024.

Performance Goals and Metrics

The Compensation Committee selected the following performance goals and metrics within the Company’s performance scorecard on the belief that these performance goals and metrics were aligned with our corporate strategy and could be impacted by our executive officers. In Fiscal 2024, the payout opportunities for threshold, target and breakthrough performance levels were set at 50%, 100% and 200% of each Target Award, respectively, with interpolation between performance levels.

**Operational Objectives:**The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that achieving operational objectives will advance the Company’s ability to restart uranium extraction at our Christensen Ranch Mine in Wyoming and will support additional extraction capacity. This metric was weighted at 30%. This metric required the Company to: (i) approve extraction restart our Christensen Ranch Mine in Wyoming; (ii) increase resource estimates at our Burke Hollow Project in Texas; and (iii) complete a drilling program at our Roughrider Project in Saskatchewan. The target level of performance required the Company to achieve any two of three operational objectives, the threshold level of performance required the Company to achieve any one operational objective and the breakthrough level of performance required the Company to achieve all of the three operational objectives. The result was performance at 200%. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had achieved all of its operational objectives.

Balance Sheet: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that strengthening the Company’s balance sheet with at least $50 million of liquid assets comprised of cash and the fair value of physical uranium and equity holdings is important to support the Company’s growth initiatives. This metric was weighted at 50%. $60 million of liquid assets represented the target level of performance, $50 million of liquid assets represented the threshold level of performance and $70 million of liquid assets represented the breakthrough level of performance. The result was performance at 200%. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $329.5 million.

ESG Rating Improvement: The Compensation Committee selected this metric to support the Company’s commitment to integrate sustainability into our core business operations and to create value for our stockholders by aligning sustainability with business growth. This metric required the Company to achieve a rating average improvement across Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”), Sustainalytics and MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”). This metric was weighted 10%. The target level of performance required the Company to achieve an overall improvement in ESG ratings, the threshold level of performance required the Company to maintain existing ratings and the breakthrough level of performance required the Company to achieve a letter grade/category improvement in ESG ratings. The result was performance at 200%. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had achieved a letter grade/category improvement average in ESG ratings published by ISS and Sustainalytics and was awaiting a re-rate with MSCI.

Total Recordable Injury and Illness Incidence Rate: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that the total recordable injury and illness incidence rate (“IIR”) is critical to the Company’s overall approach to promoting high performing safe environments. The Company’s IIR is calculated by multiplying the total number of OSHA recordable injuries and illnesses at our operations by 200,000 and dividing that result by the total number of hours worked by all employees at our operations. In this formula, 200,000 represents the number of hours that would be worked by 100 employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, and provides the standard base for calculating incidence rates for a year pursuant to OSHA guidance. This metric was weighted 10%. An IIR below 3.2 represented the target level of performance, an IIR below 4.8 represented the threshold level of performance and an IIR below 1.6 and no work-related fatalities represented the breakthrough level of performance. The result was performance at 200%. The Company achieved an IIR of zero for Fiscal 2024, having no work-related fatalities, recordable injuries or illnesses among full-time employees at our operations.

Review of Executive Officer Performance

New for Fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee adjusted the performance scorecard to be solely calculated on corporate performance. Regardless of the scorecard being formulaic, the Compensation Committee retained the practice of reviewing our executive officer’s performance and contribution towards our corporate results. The purpose of the executive officer performance evaluation is to support leadership and development feedback.

In Fiscal 2024 the following milestones were attained by the Company as a result of the success of the executives meeting their performance goals:

Subsequent to Fiscal 2024:

Long-Term Incentive (Equity)

The Company’s long-term incentive program (the “LTIP”) provides for, among other awards, the granting of stock options, performance stock options (“PSOs”), RSUs and PRSUs to executive officers to both motivate executive performance and retention, as well as to align executive officer performance to shareholder value creation. In awarding long-term incentives, the Company compares its long-term incentive program to the Peer Group and evaluates such factors as the number of shares available for awards under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan and the number of awards outstanding relative to the number of shares outstanding.

Each long-term incentive grant is based on the level of the position held and overall market competitiveness. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration previous grants when it considers new grants of equity awards. The Compensation Committee administers the granting of equity awards in accordance with our Stock Incentive Plan.

In Fiscal 2019 the Compensation Committee considered the advice of GGA and the recommendations issued by leading independent proxy advisors and implemented a performance based long-term incentive award structure to more closely align pay with future performance.

In each of Fiscals 2022, 2023 and 2024 performance based long-term equity incentive plan awards were awarded to the executive officers in the form of PRSUs. The PRSUs are measured based on the Company’s three-year total stockholder return relative to the Global X Uranium ETF. The PRSUs cliff vest and settle based on the achievement of the performance criteria at the end of 36 months. The number of PRSUs that may vest at the end of 36 months is contingent on the level of performance achieved and ranges from 0% to 200% of the PRSU target number of units. Regardless of the relative TSR performance of the Company versus the Global X Uranium ETF TSR, if the Company’s absolute share price is negative between the grant date and the 36 th month share price, the maximum number of PRSUs that can vest is capped at 100%.

The following table summarizes the vesting schedule for outstanding PRSUs.

In Fiscal 2024 the Compensation Committee reviewed the market prevalence of long-term equity incentive plans within the Company’s Peer Group and determined that PRSUs and RSUs were the most appropriate form of long-term equity incentive to grant in Fiscal 2024 due to market practice. The long-term equity incentive plan awards awarded to our executive officers in Fiscal 2024 are more particularly described below in the “Grants of Plan Based Awards” table.

The following table summarizes the pay mix for our executive officers and illustrates the percentage of fixed versus at-risk pay for Fiscal 2024:

Notes:

Other Non-Cash Compensation

The Company provides standard health benefits to its executive officers, including medical, dental and disability insurance.

The Company’s other non-cash compensation is intended to provide a similar level of benefits as those provided by comparable companies within our industry.

Amir Adnani, President and Chief Executive Officer

During Fiscal 2024, Amir Adnani, through a services agreement with Amir Adnani Corp. (“Adnani Corp.”), a private company over which Mr. Adnani exercises control, was retained to provide certain services to the Company, and his direct and indirect compensation as an executive officer of the Company is disclosed below in the “Summary Compensation Table”. The Company’s compensation policy for Mr. Adnani is based on comparisons of other companies’ remunerations made to their Presidents and Chief Executive Officers and the value of Mr. Adnani’s expertise to the Company.

As shown in the “Director Compensation” table below, Mr. Adnani does not receive additional compensation in connection with his service as a director of the Company.

Scott Melbye, Executive Vice President

Scott Melbye is retained according to an executive services agreement with our Company, and his compensation for serving as an executive officer of the Company is disclosed below in the “Summary Compensation Table”. The Company’s compensation policy for Mr. Melbye is based on comparisons of other companies’ remunerations made to their Executive Vice Presidents and the value of Mr. Melbye’s expertise to the Company.

Pat Obara, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

We appointed Pat Obara as our Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective on October 29, 2015. Mr. Obara served as our Chief Financial Officer from August 2006 to January 2011 and as our Vice President Administration from January 2011 to October 2015. Mr. Obara is retained according to an employment arrangement with our Company, and his compensation for serving as an executive officer of the Company is disclosed below in the “Summary Compensation Table”. The Company’s compensation policy for Mr. Obara is based on comparisons of other companies’ remunerations made to their Chief Financial Officers and the value of Mr. Obara’s expertise to the Company.

Brent Berg, Senior Vice President, U.S. Operations

Brent Berg is retained according to an executive services agreement with our Company, and his compensation for serving as an executive officer of the Company is disclosed below under “Executive Services Agreements”. The Company’s compensation policy for Mr. Berg is based on comparisons of other companies’ remunerations made to their Senior Vice Presidents and the value of Mr. Berg’s expertise to the Company.

Retirement, Resignation or Termination Plans

Company executive officers with contracts for services have notice requirements which permit pay in lieu of notice.

Each of the Company’s executive services arrangements with Messrs. Melbye, Obara and Berg and Adnani Corp. contemplates the case of termination due to various provisions whereby the named executive officers will receive termination payments, as described below under “Executive Services Agreements”.

Compensation and Risk

We do not believe that our compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. We have taken steps to ensure that our executive compensation program does not incentivize risk outside the Company’s risk appetite. Some of the key ways that we currently manage compensation risk are as follows:

Clawback Policy

On November 20, 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), with an effective date of November 20, 2023, in order to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”) and Section 811 of the NYSE American Company Guide (collectively, the “Final Clawback Rules”). The Board has designated the Compensation Committee of the Board as the administrator of the Clawback Policy.

The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers, as defined in Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”), of the Company in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, the Company may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

We have filed our Clawback Policy as Exhibit 97.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Timing of Stock Awards and Disclosure of Material Nonpublic Information

The Company does not follow a predetermined scheduled for granting stock-based compensation. Typically, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee consider granting stock-based compensation on an annual basis in the last quarter of each fiscal year or for new hires around the hire date and outside of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and announcement of the financial results for that fiscal year end. The granting of Awards under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan is contingent on the Company’s performance.

The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee review and approve these Awards. They ensure that material nonpublic information (“MNPI”) is taken into account when determining the timing and terms of the Awards and, if MNPI is present, the Award will be deferred until such information has been publicly disclosed.

The Company does not time the disclosure of MNPI to influence the value of executive compensation. All material information is disclosed promptly in accordance with SEC rules and regulations and the Company’s internal policies.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

We adopted an Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy (the “Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy”). The Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy provides that, unless otherwise previously approved by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, no director, officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or, to the extent practicable, any other person (or their associates) in a special relationship (within the meaning of applicable securities laws) with the Company, may, at any time: (i) purchase financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, instruments for the short sale or purchase or sale of call or put options, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchangeable funds that are based on fluctuations of the Company’s debt or equity instruments and that are designed to or that may reasonably be expected to have the effect of hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of any securities of the Company; or (ii) purchase Company securities on a margin or otherwise pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan. Any violation of our Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy will be regarded as a serious offence. Our Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy is available on the Company’s website atwww.uraniumenergy.com.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines for our executive officers to further align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders (the “Stock Ownership Guidelines”). The Stock Ownership Guidelines provide that each executive officer should attain a specified level of ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to a multiple of their base compensation within five years of the executive officer’s first appointment to their role. The stock ownership requirement is three times (3x) base compensation for our President and Chief Executive Officer and one times (1x) base compensation for our other executive officers. Our Stock Ownership Guidelines are available on the Company’s website atwww.uraniumenergy.com. The following table sets forth the total stock ownership and value thereof for each of our executive officers as of September 26, 2024.

Notes:

As of July 31, 2024, and the filing date of this Annual Report, each of our directors and executive officers are in compliance with the Stock Ownership Guidelines.

Consideration of Most Recent Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders our stockholders voted, in an advisory manner, on a proposal to approve our named executive officer compensation. This was our most recent stockholder advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. The proposal was approved by our stockholders, receiving approximately 97% of the vote of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and voting at the meeting. We considered this vote to be a ratification of our current executive compensation policies and decisions and, therefore, did not make any significant changes to our executive compensation policies and decisions based on the vote.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No person who served as a member of our Compensation Committee during Fiscal 2024 was a current or former officer or employee of our Company or engaged in certain transactions with our Company required to be disclosed by regulations of the SEC. Additionally, during Fiscal 2024, there were no Compensation Committee “interlocks”, which generally means that no executive officer of our Company served: (i) as a member of the Compensation Committee (or other Board of Directors’ committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of another entity which had an executive officer serving as a member of our Company’s Compensation Committee; (ii) as a director of another entity which had an executive officer serving as a member of our Company’s Compensation Committee; or (iii) as a member of the Compensation Committee (or other Board of Directors’ committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of another entity which had an executive officer serving as a director of our Company.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing compensation discussion and analysis with Company management. Based on that review and those discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the compensation discussion and analysis be included in this Annual Report. This report is provided by our independent directors, Vincent Della Volpe, David Kong and Gloria Ballesta, who comprise our Compensation Committee.

Director Compensation

Our non-executive directors receive an annual retainer consisting of cash and equity compensation for their annual service. The value and form of equity awards granted to each director is based on the experience of the director, time spent on Company matters and the compensation paid to directors of other companies in the industry. In Fiscal 2024 RSUs and stock options were awarded to our non-executive directors. The RSUs vest over 36 months. The stock options vest over 24 months.

The following table sets forth information relating to compensation paid to our non-employee directors for Fiscal 2024:

Notes:

As at July 31, 2024, our directors held stock options to acquire an aggregate of 1,057,122 shares of our common stock as follows: Spencer Abraham: 165,705 stock options; Amir Adnani: 114,915 stock options including PSOs; David Kong: 179,090 stock options; Vincent Della Volpe: 226,049 stock options; Gloria Ballesta: 233,049 stock options; and Trecia Canty: 138,314 stock options.

Spencer Abraham has served as Chairman (non-executive) of our Board of Directors since March 2, 2017. Mr. Abraham served as Executive Chairman from October 14, 2015 to March 2, 2017, and as Chairman of our Advisory Board from December 2012 to October 2015. Mr. Abraham became an independent director in May of 2024. In connection with his services as a director, Mr. Abraham received directors’ fees of $14,166.67 per month. The compensation paid to Mr. Abraham is more particularly described below under “Director Services Agreement”.

Amir Adnani serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and a director. Within his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer, and through an executive services agreement with a private company, Adnani Corp., controlled by Mr. Adnani, he provides various consulting services to the Company. Mr. Adnani does not receive additional compensation in connection with his service as a director of the Company. Mr. Adnani’s direct and indirect compensation as an executive officer of the Company is disclosed above in the “Summary Compensation Table”.

In Fiscal 2024 Spencer Abraham, David Kong, Vincent Della Volpe, Gloria Ballesta and Trecia Canty served as independent directors of the Company. Mr. Kong serves as Chairperson of the Company’s Audit Committee. Mr. Della Volpe serves as Chairperson of the Company’s Compensation Committee. Effective July 16, 2024, Ms. Ballesta succeeded Mr. Della Volpe as Chairperson of the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and Ms. Canty succeeded Mr. Kong as Chairperson of the Company’s Sustainability Committee.

The following table sets forth the annual retainer fees paid to our non-executive directors in Fiscal 2024 and thereafter.

Note:

In addition to such annual retainer fees, our non-executive directors may, from time to time, receive equity compensation, which is granted on a discretionary basis. The value and form of equity compensation granted is based on the experience of the director, time spent on Company matters and a comparison of the compensation paid to directors of other companies in the industry.

Standard retainer amounts paid to non-executive directors, as well as any equity compensation, is determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee and ratified by the Board of Directors.

Pay Ratio

As required by theDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Amir Adnani, our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”; and the “CEO Pay Ratio”). For Fiscal 2024, our last completed fiscal year:

Based on this information, for Fiscal 2024 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was approximately 66 to 1.

We believe our CEO Pay Ratio for Fiscal 2024 demonstrates our pay-for-performance philosophy. Our compensation program consists of both fixed and variable components and is designed to motivate all employees to produce superior short and long-term corporate performance. The ratio of our CEO’s base compensation to the base compensation of our median employee was approximately 66 to 1 because our compensation philosophy aims to position the fixed portion of our CEO’s compensation near the 50 th percentile of his position per the Peer Group review conducted by GGA. Given our CEO’s level of responsibility, experience and potential, the Compensation Committee awards the CEO a mix of compensation with a higher variable component (i.e., annual bonus, RSUs and PRSUs) that is based upon individual performance. As a result, a substantial percentage of our CEO’s total compensation is at risk every year, providing our CEO with greater incentive to increase shareholder value and improve corporate performance over the long term.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, we took the following steps:

Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee’s compensation for Fiscal 2024 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $81,440. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our “Summary Compensation Table” included above.

The CEO Pay Ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the CEO Pay Ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Executive Services Agreements

Adnani Services Agreement

On July 24, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the entering into of a services agreement with Adnani Corp. with an initial term commencing retroactively on July 1, 2013, as supplemented by letter agreements dated August 1, 2015 and September 24, 2024 (collectively the “Adnani Agreement”).

The Adnani Agreement is subject to automatic renewal on a three-month to three-month term renewal basis unless either the Company or Adnani Corp. provides written notice not to renew the Adnani Agreement no later than 90 days prior to the end of the then current or renewal term.

Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Adnani Agreement: (i) through Adnani Corp., Mr. Adnani provides various consulting services to the Company which are in addition to his duties and responsibilities as our President and Chief Executive Officer; and (ii) we shall pay to Adnani Corp. a monthly fee of $34,000. Effective on April 1, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the monthly fee payable to Adnani Corp. was reduced on a non-accrued basis from its original and stated amount to $16,830.
