Consulting Agreement financial

"the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Dr. Wallace"

Executive Severance Plan financial

"pursuant to the Company’s Executive Severance Plan adopted as of August 11, 2025"

Separation Agreement and Release financial

"and a Separation Agreement and Release entered into on April 27, 2026"

equity incentive plans financial

"pursuant to the applicable equity incentive plans of the Company"

Equity incentive plans are company programs that pay employees, executives, or directors with company stock, stock options, or share units instead of or in addition to cash, aiming to align their interests with shareholders—like giving team members a stake in the house they help build. For investors this matters because such plans can motivate better company performance but also dilute existing ownership and increase reported compensation costs, so they affect future earnings, voting power, and share value.

severance benefits financial

"Dr. Wallace is entitled to receive the severance benefits applicable to a Tier 1 officer"
