If Ms. Hakim or Mr. Mulhall voluntarily terminates her/his employment, or if the Company terminates her/his employment for cause, she/he is not entitled to any severance payments and is not bound by a non-compete clause, however she/he is still bound by any confidentiality and non-disparagement duties. Any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited, and any unexercised options will expire.

•Termination for disability. If Ms. Hakim’s or Mr. Mulhall’s employment is terminated because of a disability, as defined in their respective Severance and Change in Control agreement, then she/he will receive severance as if she/he had been terminated without cause.

•Termination following a change in control. If the employment of Ms. Hakim or Mr. Mulhall is terminated by the Company within 18 months following a change in control other than for cause or disability or by her/him for good reason (all such terms as defined in their respective Severance and Change in Control Agreement), she/he is entitled to (i) her/his base salary earned through the date of termination, (ii) any earned cash bonus not yet paid for the preceding fiscal year, and (iii) a pro rata portion of the her/his annual cash bonus for the portion of the year she/he worked, assuming all applicable targets had been met.

Upon any change in control, all outstanding stock options and restricted stock will vest immediately. Health insurance and other fringe benefits will continue for a period of six months after termination.

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive separate compensation for their service as a director. Our non-executive directors receive a mix of cash compensation and stock compensation for their service to our Company. Each year, our Compensation and Human Resources Committee determines the total amount of non-executive director compensation, as well as the allocation among cash and stock compensation, and takes into consideration, among other things, the Company’s performance relative to its guidance, the extent to which director compensation aligns the interests of our directors with the interests of our shareholders, compensation awarded to directors of similarly sized companies in our industry, and past practices. Our Compensation and Human Resources Committee is also tasked with reviewing the compensation paid to non-executive directors and making recommendations to our Board of Directors for any adjustments deemed necessary as a result of their review. Our Board of Directors has determined that the following compensation structure would properly incentivize non-executive directors and adequately recognize the additional work performed by Board committee chairs: Chairman of the Board, $200,000; Vice Chairman of the Board, $165,000; Chair of each of the Audit and Finance Committee and Strategic Planning Committee, $140,000 each; Chair of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, $120,000; Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, $120,000; and all other non-executive directors, $100,000 each. A director holding more than one such position is paid only the higher paying amount.

The following table summarizes the compensation of our non-executive directors for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)	Stock Awards ($)(1)	Total ($)
Carey Bond	80,000	120,000	200,000

Related-Party Policy.

The Company’s Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related-party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interest, except under guidelines approved by our Board of Directors (or our Audit and Finance Committee). SEC rules generally define related-party transactions as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, or (c) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our Audit and Finance Committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. Our Audit and Finance Committee considers all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related-party transaction, including whether the related-party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related-party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he/she is a related party, but that director is required to provide our Audit and Finance Committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire annually that elicits information about related-party transactions. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related-party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee, or officer.

Related-Party Transactions.

There were no related-party transactions during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our common stock is listed on NYSE American. As a result, we follow the rules of the NYSE American in determining whether a director is independent. The NYSE American listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer or employee of the Company, who does not have a relationship with the Company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. Our board of directors consults with our legal counsel to ensure that our Board of Directors’ determinations are consistent with NYSE American rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. Consistent with these considerations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that Carey Bond, Richard Caswell, Michael Faber, Pamela Levesque, Richard C. Rosenjack, Jr. and Terry Stinson are independent directors of the Company. The remaining director, Dorith Hakim, is not independent because she is employed as our Chief Executive Officer and President. All members of our Audit and Finance, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are independent.
