Departure of Chief Legal and Administrative Officer and Secretary

On March 31, 2026, Jaqueline Cooke notified the Board of her resignation as Chief Legal and Administrative Officer and Secretary of the Company, at the request of the Board and not due to circumstances constituting “cause”, effective April 10, 2026 (the “Separation Date”).

In connection with her termination of employment, on March 31, 2026, Ms. Cooke and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Separation Agreement”), the material terms of which are described below. As consideration for a customary broad-form mutual release of claims by Ms. Cooke against the Company and its affiliates, and by the Company against Ms. Cooke and her affiliates, the Company will provide Ms. Cooke the following payments and benefits: (i) a separation payment in an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 to be paid in cash in two equal installments, the first of which will be paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date occurring 45 days after the Separation Date and the second of which will be paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date in July 2026; and (ii) payment of the employer’s portion of the premium for maintenance of health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and the California Continuation Benefits Replacement Act for up to 36 months following the Separation Date (or, if earlier, the date that Ms. Cooke is eligible for group health insurance coverage through another employer). In accordance with the Company’s 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) and applicable award agreements thereunder, Ms. Cooke’s equity- and cash-based awards under the Stock Incentive Plan will immediately be forfeited as of the Separation Date. The Company will reimburse Ms. Cooke for attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with Ms. Cooke’s separation from the Company and negotiation of the Separation Agreement, in an amount equal to $107,480. The Separation Agreement further includes a customary cooperation covenant on behalf of Ms. Cooke for the benefit of the Company and a mutual non-disparagement covenant.

The foregoing summary and description of the terms of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

On April 3, 2026, Debra Cotter, Senior Vice President, Associate General Counsel, Corporate – Securities, Mergers and Acquisitions, was appointed Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Company, effective upon Ms. Cooke’s departure on April 10, 2026.

Departure of Directors

On April 1, 2026, each of Julie Bornstein and Fallon O’Connor separately notified the Board of their respective decisions to resign as members of the Board, effective immediately. The decision of each of Ms. Bornstein and Ms. O’Connor to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Following Ms. Bornstein and Ms. O’Connor’s resignations from the Board and Ms. Comonte’s resignation as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board decreased the size of the Board from seven to four directors.

Additional information about the director and management changes described above is included in the Company’s press release issued on April 3, 2026, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
