Mr. Albinson will also assume the role of principal accounting officer of the Company as of the Effective Date, replacing Gerald Kozel. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Albinson served, from 2007 to 2024, in various financial management roles of increasing responsibility at Automatic Data Processing, Inc., a human resources and payroll solutions provider (“ADP”), most recently as Corporate Controller and Principal Accounting Officer from 2015 to 2024. Before ADP, Mr. Albinson was with PricewaterhouseCoopers from 1997-2007. Mr. Albinson does not have a family relationship with any of our directors or executive officers and has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

A summary of the material terms and conditions of Mr. Albinson’s compensation is set forth below.
