Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously disclosed, effective July 11, 2025, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) appointed Ed Kirnbauer as Acting Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Secretary of the Company (“Acting CFO and Secretary”).

Effective August 4, 2025, the Board appointed Mr. Kirnbauer as the Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Secretary of the Company.

Mr. Kirnbauer, 61, has served as the Company’s Acting CFO and Secretary since July 2025 and as the Company’s Global Corporate Controller since November 2015. From October 2021 to December 2021, Mr. Kirnbauer also served as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. Previously, from April 2011 through November 2015, Mr. Kirnbauer served as a financial consultant for various companies, including Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO), an aerospace and defense company, and Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MFLX), a technology and electronics manufacturing company. Prior to that, Mr. Kirnbauer served as Vice President of Finance & Administration and Corporate Controller at various companies, including as Corporate Controller for Procom Technology, Inc., a developer of network attached storage appliances, from 2001 to 2006. Mr. Kirnbauer is a Certified Public Accountant and started his career at KPMG LLP. Mr. Kirnbauer holds an M.B.A. from DePaul University’s Charles H. Kellstadt Graduate School of Business, and a B.S. in Accounting from Illinois State University.

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Kirnbauer entered into an offer letter with the Company (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which his annual base salary was increased to $290,000. The Company also intends to grant Mr. Kirnbauer 15,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan, which will vest on July 11, 2026, subject to Mr. Kirnbauer’s continued service through such date. In addition, Mr. Kirnbauer will be eligible to earn a quarterly performance bonus of up to 12.5% of his annual base salary. His performance bonuses for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 will be guaranteed at 100% of target. Beginning in 2026, bonus payments will be based on the level of achievement of performance metrics to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Kirnbauer is also eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefits programs.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Mr. Kirnbauer is also entitled to severance benefits. If his employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or if such termination occurs within 12 months following the effective date of a change in control, Mr. Kirnbauer is entitled to a payment equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary, continued benefits for 12 months, and accelerated vesting of his equity awards with service-based vesting. Mr. Kirnbauer has entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Kirnbauer and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as an officer of the Company.
