14, 2024 (the &#8220;Annual Meeting&#8221;).  At the Annual Meeting, the Company&#8217;s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company&#8217;s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#8220;2002 Plan&#8221;). The amended and restated 2002 Plan is referred to herein as the &#8220;Restated Plan.&#8221; The Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 9,713,754 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock (the &#8220;Share Reserve&#8221;), 8,413,754 of which were previously reserved for issuance under the 2002 Plan.  Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Plan, the Share Reserve shall be reduced by (a) one share of the Company&#8217;s common stock for each share subject to any stock option or stock appreciation right outstanding under the Restated Plan, and (b) 1.5 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock for each share subject to any outstanding award that is a Full Value Award (as defined in the Restated Plan) under the Restated Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to incentive stock option awards under the Restated Plan may not exceed an aggregate of 9,713,754 shares. The Restated Plan became effective on the date of the Annual Meeting. In addition, the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2022 Employment Inducement Plan after June 14, 2024, the Annual Meeting date.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:13.8pt">Administration</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

However, the Board may also appoint a secondary committee of one or more members of the Board to have separate but concurrent authority to make awards under those programs to all eligible individuals other than the Company&#8217;s executive officers and non-employee members of the Board.
