(the “Company”) of her intention to retire as the Company’s Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, effective as of October 24, 2025.

Ms. Logerwell will be succeeded as principal accounting officer by April M.

Ms. Wasleski’s compensation in connection with her role as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer has not yet been determined, and will be set by the Company’s Compensation Committee at a later date. In connection with her appointment, the Company anticipates that Ms. Wasleski will enter into the Company’s standard restrictive covenant agreement applicable to senior executives.
