Based on the recommendation of professional compensation consultant that the Company retained to review the compensation for non-management directors of the Company, on September 29, 2025, the Board approved that effective July 1, 2025, the compensation for the non-management directors was increased to $160,000 per year payable in equal quarterly installments. Such directors have the right to receive cash compensation or shares of the Company’s common stock by providing the Company with written notice at least 10 days before the end of each quarter and to the extent any director elects to receive shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock will be determined by using the closing price of the common stock on the NYSE American (regular hours) and on the last day of each quarter the shares will be delivered promptly thereafter.
