Stock Purchase Plan

On May 26, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is equal to the sum of 797,724 shares (the “Initial Share Reserve”) of the Company’s common stock plus the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be added to the ESPP annually each year for a period of up to 10 years. Additional shares added to the ESPP on an annual basis is equal to the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year and the Initial Share Reserve.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $0.01 million and $0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to the ESPP. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, 151,119 shares and 63,413 shares, respectively, had been purchased under the ESPP.
