Benefits and Other Compensation
We maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all of our employees, including reimbursement of private health insurance, tech allowances, and education and professional development plans, that named executive officers participate in. Executives are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, in each case on the same terms as our other employees. No employee benefit plans are in place solely for the benefit of our executives.
Change in Control Benefits
Pursuant to the terms of our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, our executives are entitled to certain benefits in the event of a change in control of our Company or the termination of their employment under specified circumstances, including termination following a change in control. We believe these benefits help us compete for and retain executive talent and are generally in line with severance packages offered to executives by the companies in our peer group. We also believe that these benefits would serve to minimize the distraction caused by any change in control scenario and reduce the risk that key talent would leave the Company before any such transaction closes, which could reduce the value of the Company if such transaction failed to close.

Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to Our Risk Management
Our compensation program for employees does not create incentives for excessive risk taking by our employees or involve risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Our compensation has the following risk-limiting characteristics:
| · | Our base pay consists of competitive salary rates that represent a reasonable portion of total compensation and provide a reliable level of income on a regular basis, which decreases incentive on the part of our executives to take unnecessary or imprudent risks; |
| · | Option awards are not tied to formulas that could focus executives on specific short-term outcomes; and |
| · | Option awards, generally, have multi-year vesting which aligns the long-term interests of our executives with those of our shareholders and, again, discourages the taking of short-term risk at the expense of long-term performance. |
Additionally, we have adopted a Nasdaq compliant compensation recovery policy (a “clawback policy”) that applies to incentive compensation.
