The Compensation Committee, which consists solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility for reviewing and considering any revisions to director compensation. The Board reviews the Committee’s recommendations and determines the amount of director compensation. Each of the Company's non-employee directors receives annual compensation consisting of: (i) an annual retainer, and (ii) an annual equity grant.

The Compensation Committee, with advice and information from the independent compensation consultant, periodically reviews the competitiveness of the Company's non-employee director compensation based on pay practices among the Company's peer group, as described starting on page 33, and broader general industry practices. For calendar year 2025, we updated our non-employee director compensation program, based on the Committee's review of competitive market analysis and advice of Meridian Compensation Partners, in order to deliver more market competitive total pay. Compensation for the Board is set on a calendar year basis, and these changes went into effect on January 1, 2025 and remained in place in 2026.

2026 Proxy Statement 15

Annual Retainer. Each director may choose to receive the annual retainer and chair retainer, if applicable, as a quarterly cash payment, or they may elect to receive the equivalent value in an equity grant consisting 37.5% of non-qualified stock options and 62.5% of restricted stock units.

Annual Equity Award. Equity grants for non-employee directors are made on January 15 (or the first business day thereafter) of each year and consist of 37.5% non-qualified stock options ("stock options") and 62.5% restricted stock units. Stock options and restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors vest fully on the first anniversary of the grant date, and, in the case of stock options, have a seven-year term.

Any retainer amount payable or equity award granted to a director newly appointed or elected to the Board or with respect to any chair assignments is pro-rated to reflect service.

From time to time, we may reimburse a director’s expenses for participation in third party-supplied continuing education related to the director’s Board or committee service. There was no reimbursement for educational participation made to the directors during fiscal 2026.
