The Board also appointed Mr. Mohindra to serve on the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, and appointed Mr. Kant to serve as a non-voting observer of the Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Structure Committee of the Board, in each case commencing concurrently with their Board service. Messrs. Mohindra and Kant are independent directors, each with an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with their appointments, each of Mr. Mohindra and Mr. Kant was appointed to fill an existing vacancy on the Board.

Compensation for each of Messrs. Mohindra and Kant will consist of an initial restricted stock unit award with a value of $260,000, granted on the effective date of the appointment and vesting in equal installments on the first three annual anniversaries of the grant date, and annual restricted stock unit awards with a value of $260,000, granted on the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders during which each serves and vesting on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the date of the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The number of restricted stock units subject to each award will equal the applicable dollar value divided by the ninety-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.
