Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and certain key employees. The indemnification agreements, our Charter and Bylaws require us to indemnify our current and former directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

While we do not have a formal written policy in place with regard to the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information, our Board and the Compensation Committee do not seek to time equity grants to take advantage of information, either positive or negative, about our Company that has not been publicly disclosed. Similarly, it is our practice not to time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant date or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not grant stock options four business days before or one business day following the release of material non-public information.
