On October 17, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Leap Tide Agreement”) with Leap Tide Capital Management LLC (collectively with its affiliates, “Leap Tide”), Jan Loeb, Ronald J. Macklin, Nader G.M. Salour and Richard B. Smith concerning certain voting commitments and governance related matters.

The parties also agreed to support publicly and privately the Company (including the Board) and the Company’s director nominations and proposals, and to solicit proxies consistent with the Board’s recommendations, in each case if requested by the Company.

The Leap Tide Agreement includes customary standstill provisions that restrict the parties from taking certain actions, including encouraging other shareholders to oppose the Board’s nominees, making public proposals or announcements concerning business combinations, restructurings, or other extraordinary transactions, or entering into discussions or agreements with third parties regarding such prohibited actions.
