Our compensation committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to our Board on its discussions, decisions and other actions relating to such programs. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations for the respective executive officers that report to him to our compensation committee and typically attends compensation committee meetings (other than the portions of meetings in which his compensation is discussed). Our Chief Executive Officer makes such recommendations (other than with respect to himself) regarding base salary, and short-term and long-term compensation, including equity incentives, for our executive officers based on our results, an executive officer’s individual contribution toward those results, the executive officer’s role and performance of the executive officer’s duties and the executive officer’s achievement of individual goals. Our compensation committee then reviews the recommendations and other factors it deems relevant, including various compensation survey data and publicly available data of our peers, and makes decisions as to the target total direct compensation (consisting of salary, target short-term incentive, and long-term incentive compensation) for each executive officer, including our Chief Executive Officer, as well as each individual compensation element of such compensation.

Our compensation committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our executive compensation programs and related policies. In 2025, Compensia was retained to provide market information, analysis and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. As part of this engagement, Compensia assisted in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help determine the market-comparable levels of overall target total direct compensation for our executive officers, as well as to assess each separate key element of such compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers, individually as well as in the aggregate, is competitive and fair. We do not believe the retention of, and the work performed by, Compensia creates any conflict of interest.
