On January 24, 2025, the Board appointed Jeffrey T. Varsalone as a Class I director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Varsalone or his affiliate will receive a monthly cash fee of $30,000 for his Board service pursuant to an agreement with the Company and payable in accordance with its terms.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Varsalone and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Company, and there is no family relationship between either of Mr. Varsalone and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers. Mr. Varsalone has no material interest in any transaction that is required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On January 24, 2025, in order to achieve an equal balance of membership among the classes of directors, the Board determined to move Richard Kender from Class III with a term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to Class II with a term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, on the same date, Mr., Kender, who was a Class III Director, resigned as a director and was immediately elected by the Board as a Class II Director. The resignation and re-election of Mr. Kender was effected solely to rebalance the Board’s classes and, for all other purposes, including committee service and compensation, Mr. Kender’s service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. The Board now consists of two Class I Directors, two Class II Directors, and two Class III Directors.
