He is expected to commence employment with the Company on June 22, 2026.\n\nMr. Faessler mostly recently was employed by Brucker Corporation as Senior Vice President of Finance, leading global FP&A and the Americas finance organization. His responsibilities have included strategic planning, operational finance and capital decision-making. Before that, he was Senior Director of Finance at Parexel Corporation from April 2018 to December 2018 and Director of Finance at Parexel from November 2015 to April 2018, where he led its early- and late-phase clinical divisions, driving growth and profitability across both businesses. Prior to Parexel, Mr. Faessler worked as Director of Finance and Sales Operations at Harvard Business Publishing and held several financial planning, analysis and operation roles at EMC Corporation. Mr. Faessler earned an MBA from the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College and a BA from the University of Massachusetts Boston.\n\nThe Company has entered into an employment agreement dated May 31, 2026 with Mr. Faessler (the “Employment Agreement”) in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. The Employment Agreement provides for an initial annualized base salary of $475,000, a cash sign-on bonus of $200,000, and eligibility for an annual performance bonus with an annual bonus target of up to 50% of Mr. Faessler’s base salary.\n\nIn connection with his appointment, Mr. Faessler also will receive a long-term equity incentive award consisting of restricted stock units (RSUs) covering shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equivalent to three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on his start date. The RSUs vest in four equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of Mr. Faessler’s start date.\n\nIf Mr. Faessler’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then he will receive continued payment of his base salary for 12 months (the “Severance Period”), payment of an amount equal to his annual target bonus for the year of termination, pro-rated as of the date of termination, and subsidized health benefits during the Severance Period. If Mr. Faessler’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason in connection with a Change-in-Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then he will receive continued payment of his base salary for 12 months, payment of an amount equal to his annual target bonus for the year of termination, subsidized health benefits during the Severance Period, and all of his outstanding but unvested equity awards will also become fully vested. Receipt of the foregoing termination benefits will be subject to Mr. Faessler’s execution of a separation agreement, including certain restrictive covenants and a general release of all claims, in a form acceptable to the Company.\n\nA copy of the Employment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.\n\nExcept for the Employment Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Faessler and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Faessler was appointed as an officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Faessler and any director, director nominee or executive officer of the Company. There are no transactions to which the Company is a party and in which Mr. Faessler has a material interest that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K."}
