Mr. Mann will succeed the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, Robert Giammatteo, whose departure the Company previously reported. Mr. Mann will serve as interim Chief Financial Officer until the qualification and appointment of his successor.
Mr. Mann, 45, will serve as interim Chief Financial Officer in addition to his role as the Company’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy, Capital Markets and Investor Relations, a position he has held since May 2023. Mr. Mann previously worked in investment banking at Morgan Stanley as an executive director from September 2021 to March 2023, prior to which he worked in investment banking at Credit Suisse as a Director from August 2015 to September 2021. Mr. Mann graduated with a B.S. in Economics from Duke University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.
In connection with Mr. Mann’s appointment as interim Chief Financial Officer (and interim principal financial and accounting officer), Mr. Mann entered into an offer letter, dated October 6, 2025 (the “Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Mr. Mann is entitled to, among other things:

•
approximately $250,000 (based on the value on the grant date) in target value of performance based stock units which vest after three years based on then-current performance criteria.
All of the foregoing awards will be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable plan and award agreements. In addition, Mr. Mann is eligible to participate in any employee plans and programs in effect from time to time, as are made available to similarly situated employees.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Mann and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as interim Chief Financial Officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Mann and the executive officers or directors of the Company, and there are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Mann that the Company would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
