On November 12, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved an increase in the size of the Board from seven (7) to eight (8) members, effective January 1, 2026. In connection with this expansion, the Board appointed David I. Finkelstein to fill the newly created seat, also effective January 1, 2026. Mr. Finkelstein’s initial term will expire at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2026.
The Board has determined that Mr. Finkelstein satisfies the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. On November 12, 2025, the Board also appointed Mr. Finkelstein to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board, effective January 1, 2026.
Mr. Finkelstein was appointed to the Board after a thorough review of his qualifications by the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Finkelstein will receive compensation as a non-employee director in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation program described in the Company’s Annual Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2024. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Finkelstein and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as a director, and there are no transactions in which he has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Company expects to enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Finkelstein, the form of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.10 to the Company’s Form 10-K filed on November 19, 2024.
