Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The description of the Separation Agreement set forth under Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

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

In connection with Mr. Singleton’s previously announced resignation, we entered into a separation agreement and release, dated August 22, 2025 (the “Separation Agreement”), with Mr. Singleton, which includes a general release of all claims (the “General Release”). Mr. Singleton’s role as our Chief Financial Officer ceased effective as of June 9, 2025.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, if Mr. Singleton does not revoke the Separation Agreement or the General Release during the Revocation Period (as defined in the Separation Agreement), then we will pay to Mr. Singleton the following Separation Benefits (as defined in the Separation Agreement), less any amount owed by Mr. Singleton to us: (i) on the first regular payroll date immediately following the end of the Revocation Period, (a) a cash payment equal to six months of Mr. Singleton’s base salary, (b) a cash payment for accumulated time off in the gross amount of $36,193.99, and (c) an additional cash payment of $15,000; (ii) if Mr. Singleton timely elects continuation of our group health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), we will pay up to six months of the cost of the COBRA coverage; and (iii) a cash payment for accrued expenses incurred in accordance with our company policies.

The treatment of Mr. Singleton’s outstanding equity awards on account of his separation with us will be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in Mr. Singleton’s existing equity award agreements entered into with us as well as the applicable equity award plan under which such equity awards had been granted. None of those equity awards will receive accelerated vesting under the Separation Agreement.

The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, and agreements contained in the Separation Agreement, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
