Item 8.01 – Other

Director Compensation Plan - 2024

On December 16, 2024, the Board of Directors (“Board”) adopted a new Director Compensation Plan (“Plan”) to be effective immediately.

Under the Plan the Company will pay its independent directors an annual cash fee of $25,000, payable quarterly in advance on the first business day of each calendar quarter, prorated for the period of service in the year and which is consideration for their participation in: (i) any regular or special meetings of the Board or any committee thereof attended in person, (ii) any telephonic meeting of the Board or any committee thereof in which the director is a member, (iii) written consent actions, (iv) any non-meeting consultations with the Company’s management, and (v) any other services provided by them in their capacities as directors (other than services as the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee, and the other Committees’ Chairman).

At the time of initial election or appointment, each independent director will receive an equity retention award in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The aggregate value of the RSUs at the time of grant will be $25,000, with the number of shares underlying the RSUs to be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trade date immediately prior to the date of grant. Vesting of the RSUs will be as follows: (i) 50% at the time of grant, and (ii) 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date.

In addition, on the first business day of January each year, each independent director who was not initially appointed or elected in the previous year will receive an equity retention award in the form of RSUs. The aggregate value of the RSUs at the time of grant will be $25,000, with the number of shares underlying the RSUs to be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trade date immediately prior to the date of grant. These RSUs will be fully vested at date of grant.

The Company will pay the Audit Committee Chairman an additional annual fee of $10,000, payable quarterly in advance on the first business day of each calendar quarter, prorated for the period of service in the year, for the services as the Audit Committee Chairman.

The Company will pay the Chairmen of any other committee of the Board an additional annual fee of $5,000, payable quarterly in advance on the first business day of each calendar quarter, prorated for the period of service in the year, for services as a Committee Chairman.

There is no additional compensation paid to members of any committee of the Board. Interested (i.e. Executive directors) serving on the Board do not receive compensation for their Board service.

Each director is responsible for the payment of any and all income taxes arising with respect to the issuance of common stock and the vesting and settlement of RSUs.

The Company will also reimburse directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings and undertaking certain matters on the Company’s behalf.
