Procedures for Reviewing Related Person Transactions“The Company’s written Related Person Transaction Policy sets forth procedures for the review, approval, and ratification of any transaction, arrangement, or relationship (Transaction) with the Company which is currently proposed, has been in effect, or was completed at any time since the beginning of the last completed fiscal year in which the Company was, is, or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any Director, Director nominee, executive officer of the Company, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of Company voting securities (Beneficial Owner) and/or any of their immediate family members (collectively, Related Persons) had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (Related Person Transactions). Under the procedures, Directors, Director nominees, executive officers of the Company, and Beneficial Owners are required to report any interest that such person or their immediate family member had, has, or will have in a potential Related Person Transaction in writing to the Corporate Secretary, who will notify the Chair of the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee, upon review, approves or ratifies Related Person Transactions by vote of a majority of disinterested Directors. If the recusal of one or more Directors who are members of the Governance Committee results in fewer than two members of the Governance Committee being available to review a Related Person Transaction, the Transaction will instead be reviewed by all independent disinterested Directors.”

Procedures for Reviewing Related Person Transactions“The Governance Committee (or all independent disinterested Directors, as applicable) will approve or ratify a Related Person Transaction unless it determines, in its business judgment and based on the review of the available information, that such Transaction is inconsistent with the interests of the Company and its stockholders, taking into account factors including: the business purpose of the Transaction and potential benefits to the Company, in light of alternatives available to the Company for attaining the Transaction’s purpose(s), including whether the Transaction involves the provision of goods or services that are available from unaffiliated third parties; the materiality of the Transaction to the Company, including its approximate dollar value and expected duration; whether the Transaction was proposed and considered in accordance with the Company’s ordinary business practices, and whether its terms are fair to the Company, at arm’s length and at least as favorable to the Company as would be available in comparable transactions with or involving unaffiliated third parties; any required public disclosure; any impact on Director independence; whether the Transaction is consistent with applicable codes of conduct of the Company; and any other information regarding the Transaction or the Related Person’s interest in the Transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the Transaction.”

Related Person Transactions“The Company routinely engages in arrangements, relationships, and other transactions with many other entities, including financial institutions and professional organizations. Some Related Persons may be affiliated with these entities. The Company carries out arrangements, relationships, and other transactions with these entities in the ordinary course of business and on terms that are substantially the same as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions, and, in many instances, the relevant Related Persons may not have knowledge of them. To the Company’s knowledge, since January 1, 2025, there are no Related Person Transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.”
