Transition Advisory Services Agreement with Tarkan Maner
In a Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2026, the Company reported that Tarkan Maner had decided to step down as President and Chief Commercial Officer and that the Company and Mr. Maner were discussing a potential senior advisor transition arrangement. On October 7, 2026, the Company and Mr. Maner entered into a Transition Advisory Services Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") under which Mr. Maner will serve as a senior advisor and provide transition and strategic advisory services to the Company for a twelve-month term, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. The advisory services include support for strategic business opportunities, customer and partner relationship transitions, strategic initiatives and other transition and strategic advisory services. The Advisory Agreement provides for a monthly advisory fee of $37,500. The Advisory Agreement does not provide for severance benefits, make-whole payments, new equity awards or accelerated vesting and does not otherwise modify the terms of Mr. Maner's outstanding equity awards. While Mr. Maner continues to provide services under the Advisory Agreement, he will remain eligible to satisfy the vesting requirements applicable to those awards under the terms of the applicable equity incentive plan and award agreements. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for cause and may also be terminated by either party upon 30 days' prior notice. The foregoing description of the Advisory Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Advisory Agreement, a copy of which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending October 31, 2026.
