Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

Our equity awards, including stock options, are granted in connection with our yearly compensation cycle and regularly scheduled meetings of our compensation committee. Our compensation committee does not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material non-public information. Similarly, we do not time the release of material non-public information based on equity award grant dates. In 2025, (i) none of our named executive officers were awarded stock options with an effective grant date during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or Form 8-K that disclosed material non-public information, and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports, and (ii) we did not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
