Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

In 2025, our executive compensation program consisted of base salary, an annual cash bonus target, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options. While our Compensation Committee does not have any formal policies for allocating compensation among the three components, our Compensation Committee reviews relevant market compensation data and uses its judgment to determine the appropriate level and mix of compensation on an annual basis to ensure that our compensation is competitive and that we are able to attract and retain capable named executive officers to work for our long-term prosperity and stockholder value, without taking unnecessary or excessive risks.
