On January 16, 2026, Ms. McClure was granted 1,278 restricted stock units. The grant becomes fully vested and exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.
Ms. McClure is expected to enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnity agreement in the form filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 10, 2008.
