Mr. Oran, age 52, most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of GXO Logistics, Inc., a global logistics and supply chain solutions company, from August 2021 to March 2026.

In connection with his appointment, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Oran, effective as of the Effective Date, setting forth the terms of his employment and compensation (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement is of unlimited duration and is subject to a termination notice period of 12 months.
