There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. DeSimone, and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. DeSimone was selected as a director. Ms. DeSimone was also appointed as the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) and as a member of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. Since the beginning of fiscal 2024 through the date hereof, there have been no transactions with the Company, and there are currently no proposed transactions with the Company in which Ms. DeSimone had or will have a direct or indirect material interest within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

For her service as a director and Chairperson of the Nominating Committee, Ms. DeSimone shall receive compensation on the same terms and in equal amounts as the Company’s other independent directors specifically: (i) annual cash compensation of $25,000 and $5,000 for serving as the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee, and (ii) the issuance of $50,000 of common stock. The annual cash compensation is payable quarterly in four equal installments at the end of each calendar quarter, subject to continued service on each applicable issuance date and pro-rated for the quarter ending June 30, 2024. The shares will be issued in four equal installments ($12,500) at the end of each calendar quarter, subject to continued service on each applicable issuance date, and pro-rated for the quarter ending June 30, 2024.
