Executive Summary
Executive Summary 2024 Performance Highlights and Pay for Performance. Our executive compensation programs are designed to deliver pay in accordance with corporate and individual performance, reward superior performance and provide consequences for underperformance. We believe that the compensation of our NEOs for fiscal year 2024 was aligned with the Company’s performance during 2024. Highlights of that performance include: • Total revenue was $332.9 million, up 7.6% compared to fiscal 2023. • Total annual revenue run-rate (“ARR”) as of December 31, 2024 was $349.6 million, up 4.0% compared to December 31, 2023. • Subscription revenue was $247.9 million, up 8.1% compared to fiscal 2023. • ARR from accounts with at least one enterprise plan (“Enterprise Accounts”) was $261.6 million as of December 31, 2024, up 6.7% from December 31, 2023, reflecting continued strength and growth with midmarket and Enterprise Accounts. • ARR from Enterprise Accounts as a percent of total ARR was 75% as of December 31, 2024, compared to 73% as of December 31, 2023. GAAP net loss of approximately ($27.0) million, or (8.1%) of revenue in fiscal 2024, compared to a GAAP net loss of approximately ($64.7) million, or (20.9%) in fiscal 2023. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) of approximately ($19.5) million, or 5.8% of revenue in fiscal 2024, compared to a Non-GAAP operating income (loss) of approximately ($5.7) million, or (1.8%) of revenue in fiscal 2023. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In order to align pay with performance, a significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation is delivered in the form of equity awards and annual cash incentives, each of which depends on our actual performance. For fiscal year 2024, approximately 65% of our NEOs’ total target compensation was in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which will vest based on continued service, and performance-based RSUs, which will vest based on achievement of Company adjusted EBITDA, revenue and total stockholder return (“TSR”) metrics. 2024 Compensation Highlights. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, key compensation decisions for 2024 included the following: • Base Salaries and Target Annual Cash Incentive Opportunities. The 2024 base salaries and target bonuses for our NEOs were increased to position base salaries between the 25th and 50th percentile of market and target bonuses were set between the 25th and 50th percentile of market, based on the market analysis of our independent compensation consultant, as described further below. • Annual Cash Incentives. For 2024, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors (the “compensation committee”) selected performance goals for our performance-based annual bonus program that were intended to promote our business plan and short-term goals, including with respect to revenue growth, subscription ARR and adjusted EBITDA. • Equity-Based Long Term Incentives. In 2024, we granted approximately 65% of our NEOs’ target direct compensation as equity-based compensation in the form of stock options and RSUs. We believe that stock options and RSUs effectively align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by directly linking compensation to the value of our Common Stock. In 2024, we granted 30% of our NEOs’ long-term equity awards in the form of stock options and 70% in the form of time and performance-based RSUs. • Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”). Of the RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2024, 26% of such awards were in the form of PSUs, which represent the right to receive shares of BigCommerce Common Stock subject to the achievement of performance vesting conditions. The PSUs granted in 2024 are eligible to vest over a three-year period subject to the achievement of relative TSR, revenue, and adjusted EBITDA goals. Compensation Governance and Best Practices. We are committed to having strong governance standards with respect to our compensation programs, procedures and practices. Our key compensation practices include the following:
Executive Summary
| What We Do | What We Do Not Do | | ✓ Emphasize performance-based, at risk compensation in the form of long-term and short-term incentives. ✓ Emphasize the use of equity compensation to promote executive retention and reward long-term value creation. ✓ Weight the overall pay mix towards long term incentive compensation for senior executives. ✓ Engage an independent compensation consultant to advise our compensation committee. ✓ Utilize multiple performance measures on long-term incentives. | X Do not grant uncapped cash incentives or guaranteed equity compensation. X Do not provide significant perquisites. X Do not provide any compensation-related tax gross-ups. X Do not provide defined benefit pension plans. X Do not provide supplemental executive retirement plans. X No hedging or pledging of stock. X No dividends paid on unvested equity. |
Role of Compensation Consultant
Role of Compensation Consultant The compensation committee has retained Aon-Radford (“Aon”) as an independent compensation consultant to provide executive compensation advisory services, help evaluate our compensation philosophy and objectives, design a competitive executive compensation program that will continue to attract top executive talent and reflect our compensation philosophy, and provide guidance in administering our executive compensation program. In addition, Aon’s affiliates (Aon plc and its related entities) performed insurance advisory and insurance brokerage services for us during 2024, for which we paid approximately $264,000. Insurance premiums and related fees were paid to Aon plc and passed through to third-party insurance companies not affiliated with Aon plc. Our compensation committee reviewed these services and fees and considered the independence of Aon in light of SEC rules regarding conflicts of interest involving compensation consultants and applicable Nasdaq listing standards regarding compensation consultant independence. Based on its review, our compensation committee determined that Aon was independent, and that Aon’s services did not raise any conflicts of interest. In consultation with Aon, in August 2023, our compensation committee selected our peer group for 2024 compensation as follows, focusing primarily on domestic, publicly-traded SaaS and e-commerce companies with annual revenue between $300 million and $925 million and market capitalization between $250 million and $2.25 billion. As of September 2023, as compared to such peer groups, we were at the 27th percentile for revenue for the preceding 12 months, the 11th percentile for 30-day average market capitalization and the 20th percentile for EBITDA for the preceding 12 months. Our peer group for 2024 included the following companies:
Role of Compensation Consultant
| • | Amplitude | • | Appian | • | Blackline | • | CS Disco | | • | Digital Turbine | • | Domo | • | E2open Parent | • | Everbridge | | • | EverCommerce | • | Fastly | • | Intapp | • | Jamf | | • | JFrog | • | Model N | • | nCinco | • | Olo | | • | PagerDuty | • | Proeduca Altus | • | Q2 | • | Sprout Social | | • | SPS Commerce | • | Zuora | | | | |
Role of Compensation Consultant
The peer group selected for 2024 reflected the following changes from our 2023 peer group:
Role of Compensation Consultant
| Entities Removed From Peer Group | Entities Added to Peer Group | | AppFolio Momentive Global Sumo Logic Workiva | Amplitude Domo Model N PagerDuty Proeduca Altus |
Role of Compensation Consultant
In determining what changes to make to our peer group described above, the compensation committee removed the four companies identified above because they were acquired or had market values that were outliers. The companies identified above that were added to our peer group were added to balance out those companies that were removed and met most or all of the selection criteria. Changes were made to the peer group selection criteria for range multiples for revenue and market capitalization ranges. In November 2023, Aon provided an analysis of data derived from members of our peer group and the Radford Global Compensation Database survey, the constituent companies of which were not provided to the compensation committee. For 2024, the compensation committee used Aon’s analysis to help structure a competitive executive compensation program, position executive compensation by considering market data, and make individual compensation decisions based on comparable positions at companies with which we compete for talent. Although the compensation committee does not establish compensation levels solely based on a review of competitive data or benchmark to any particular level, it believes such data is a useful tool in its deliberations as our compensation policies and practices must be competitive in the marketplace for us to be able to attract, motivate, and retain qualified executive officers. Our compensation committee and Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, used benchmark data as a foundational starting point to determine target compensation for each NEO, and then adjusted the targets based on the NEO’s role criticality and incumbent performance. The benchmark data utilized was from our approved peer group based on relevant sector, revenue, market capitalization, and location, and was ultimately approved by the compensation committee.
Cash Incentive Compensation
Cash Incentive Compensation Annual cash incentive bonuses are an important component of our total compensation program and provide cash incentives that we believe are necessary to retain executive officers. During 2024, each NEO was eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus under our 2024 Executive Bonus Plan based on a specified target annual bonus amount, expressed as a percentage of the named NEO’s base salary. We aim to award annual cash incentive bonuses that are between the 25th and 50th percentiles of market. Accordingly, following our review of the target bonus levels for each of our NEOs in March 2024, we determined that, for fiscal year 2024, our NEOs’ target annual bonuses would not be adjusted from their 2023 levels. Subsequently, we determined to increase Mr. Hess’ bonus target from 80% to 100% in connection with his promotion to Chief Executive Officer in October 2024. Our NEOs’ target annual bonuses for 2024 were equal to the following percentages of base salary:
Cash Incentive Compensation
| Named Executive Officer | Target Percentage | | Travis Hess | 87 (1)% | | Daniel Lentz | 55 | | Russell Klein | 60 | | Brian Dhatt | 50 | | Chuck Cassidy | 50 | | Brent Bellm | 100 | | Lisa Eggerton | 50 | | Ben Sumrall | 50 |
Cash Incentive Compensation
The target percentage reflects the increase in Mr. Hess’ target annual bonus percentage from 80% to 100% effective October 1, 2024. At the beginning of 2024, the Board, considering the recommendations of the compensation committee and management, set the performance goals applicable to our 2024 annual bonus program. The performance goals established by the Board for our 2024 annual bonus program, and their respective weightings, were as follows:
Cash Incentive Compensation
| Performance Metrics | Revenue Growth Rate | Subscription Annual Revenue Run-Rate Growth Rate | Adjusted EBITDA | | Weighting | 33.33% | 33.33% | 33.33% | | Target | 8.6% | 9.8% | $16.9 million |
Cash Incentive Compensation
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company attained a revenue growth rate of 7.6% resulting in achievement of the revenue growth rate performance goal at 76% of target, a subscription annual revenue run-rate growth rate of 3.2% resulting in achievement of the subscription annual revenue run-rate growth rate performance goal at 0% of target and an adjusted EBITDA of $23.5 million versus a target of $16.9 million resulting in achievement of the adjusted EBITDA performance goal at 200% of target. Based on the foregoing, the aggregate achievement of performance goals under the 2024 Executive Bonus Plan was approximately 92% of target, after giving effect to the Company’s financial performance thresholds described in the approved plan. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The amounts of such bonuses paid to our NEOs in respect of 2024 are set forth in the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table below. Mr. Bellm, Ms. Eggerton, and Mr. Sumrall did not receive a 2024 annual bonus payment because each of their employment with us ended prior to the payment of 2024 cash bonuses.
Retention Bonus
Retention Bonus In November 2024, the compensation committee approved payment of a cash retention bonus for Mr. Lentz in an amount equal to $50,000 (the “Cash Bonus”), which is payable as to 25% of the Cash Bonus on or as soon as practicable after each of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025, and as to the remaining 50% of the Cash Bonus on or as soon as practicable after September 30, 2025 in each case, subject to Mr. Lentz’s continued employment with the Company through each such date. The Cash Bonus was awarded to incentivize Mr. Lentz’s retention during a period of significant executive turnover and during the Company’s transformation efforts.
Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Awards
Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Awards We view equity-based compensation as a critical component of our balanced total compensation program and aim to grant equity awards with target values between the 50th and 75th percentile of market. Equity-based compensation creates an ownership culture among our executives that provides an incentive to contribute to the continued growth and development of our business and aligns the interest of executives with those of our stockholders, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring a strong linkage between Company performance and pay. Historically, our senior officers (including our NEOs) received equity-based compensation in the form of stock options and time-vesting RSUs. In March 2024, the compensation committee approved a change in the structure of our long-term incentive compensation program for our senior officers (including our NEOs). The annual equity awards granted in 2024 to each NEO currently employed by us consisted of, and, going forward, the compensation committee intends to continue to grant our senior officers annual equity awards consisting of stock options, time-vesting RSUs and performance-based RSUs. We believe that including performance-based RSUs in our long-term incentive compensation program further aligns our NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders and the performance of our Company, while encouraging our NEOs to contribute to the attainment of the relevant performance goals and increase total shareholder return (as further discussed below). In 2024, we granted 70% of our target equity award value in the form of time- and performance-based RSUs (with time-based RSUs representing 51% of the total target annual equity award and performance-based RSUs representing 19% of the total target annual equity award) and 30% in the form of options to purchase our Common Stock for each of our NEOs other than Mr. Hess. In connection with the commencement of Mr. Hess' employment with us, he was granted equity awards in the form of time-based RSUs. In connection to his promotion to CEO in October 2024, he was awarded additional equity grants such that his total 2024 equity award target value was comprised of 80% RSUs (with time based RSUs and performance-based RSUs representing 91% and 9%, respectively, of his 2024 RSU awards total target value) and 20% in the form of options to purchase our Common Stock.
2024 Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Awards
2024 Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Awards In 2024, we made the following grants of stock options, time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs to our NEOs:

Mr. Lentz was granted an additional retention award in the form of a stock option covering 16,160 shares of our Common Stock in November 2024 (the “Retention Option”).
Stock Options and Time-Based RSU Awards
Stock Options and Time-Based RSU Awards The stock options granted to our NEOs during 2024 (other than the Retention Option for Mr. Lentz) vest as to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting start date and as to the balance of the underlying shares in 36 substantially equal monthly installments thereafter, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued service through the applicable vesting date. Mr. Lentz’s Retention Option vests as to 25% of the underlying shares on each of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025, and as to 50% of on September 30, 2025, subject to Mr. Lentz’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The time-based RSU awards granted to our NEOs during 2024 vest as to 25% of the underlying shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the applicable vesting start date, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued service through the applicable vesting date. Certain of our NEOs’ stock options and time-based RSUs are subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, as described below under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. Performance-Based RSU Awards. In March 2024 (or, for Mr. Hess, in October 2024), we granted awards of performance-based RSUs to our NEOs consisting of (i) performance-based RSUs subject to vesting based on the Company’s adjusted EBITDA (the “adjusted EBITDA RSUs”), (ii) performance-based RSUs subject to vesting based on the Company’s revenue (the “revenue RSUs”), and (iii) performance-based RSUs subject to vesting based on the Company’s TSR (the “TSR RSUs”), each as described below. Adjusted EBITDA RSUs Pursuant to the adjusted EBITDA RSU awards, each NEO is eligible to vest in a number of RSUs ranging from 0% to 200% of the target number of adjusted EBITDA RSUs granted, based on attainment of certain adjusted EBITDA goals during each year of a three-year performance period commencing January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2026. The compensation committee will determine the threshold, target and maximum adjusted EBITDA goals for each year of the performance period no later than 90 days following the beginning of such year. Subject to the NEO’s continued service through the applicable vesting date, up to one-third of the total adjusted EBITDA RSUs will be eligible to vest based on the Company’s achievement of adjusted EBITDA goals for the applicable year, with the actual number of adjusted EBITDA RSUs that vest determined by multiplying (i) one-third of the total number of adjusted EBITDA RSUs (at target), by (ii) the applicable “vesting percentage,” as set forth below:
Stock Options and Time-Based RSU Awards
| Adjusted EBITDA Achievement Level | Vesting Percentage | | Maximum | 200% | | Target | 100% | | Threshold | 0% | | Below Threshold | 0% |
Stock Options and Time-Based RSU Awards
If the Company’s achievement of adjusted EBITDA goals for the applicable year falls between the levels specified above, the percentage of adjusted EBITDA RSUs that vest will be determined using straight line linear interpolation between such levels. Following the completion of the applicable year, the compensation committee will determine achievement of the adjusted EBITDA goals for such year and the number of adjusted EBITDA RSUs that have become vested with respect to such year (the date of such determination by the compensation committee, the “adjusted EBITDA vesting date”). Any adjusted EBITDA RSUs eligible to vest on an adjusted EBITDA vesting date that do not vest will be forfeited without consideration therefore and the NEO will have no further right or interest in or with respect to such forfeited adjusted EBITDA RSUs. Any adjusted EBITDA RSUs that become vested will be paid to the NEO in whole shares of Company Common Stock within 30 days after the applicable vesting date.
Revenue RSUs
Revenue RSUs Pursuant to the revenue RSU awards, each NEO is eligible to vest in a number of RSUs ranging from 0% to 200% of the target number of revenue RSUs granted, based on attainment of certain revenue goals during each year of a three-year performance period commencing January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2026. The compensation committee will determine the threshold, target and maximum revenue goals for each year of the performance period no later than 90 days following the beginning of such year. Subject to the NEO’s continued service through the applicable vesting date, up to one-third of the total revenue RSUs will be eligible to vest based on achievement of the Company’s revenue goals for the applicable year, with the actual number of revenue RSUs that vest determined by multiplying (i) one-third of the total number of revenue RSUs (at target), by (ii) the applicable “vesting percentage,” as set forth below:
Revenue RSUs
| Revenue Achievement Level | Vesting Percentage | | Maximum | 200% | | Target | 100% | | Threshold | 0% | | Below Threshold | 0% |
Revenue RSUs
If the Company’s achievement of revenue goals for the applicable year falls between the levels specified above, the percentage of revenue RSUs that vest will be determined using straight line linear interpolation between such levels. Following the completion of the applicable year, the compensation committee will determine achievement of the revenue goals for the applicable year and the number of revenue RSUs that have become vested with respect to such year (the date of such determination by the compensation committee, the “revenue vesting date”). Any revenue RSUs eligible to vest on a revenue vesting date that do not vest will be forfeited without consideration therefore and the NEO will have no further right or interest in or with respect to such forfeited revenue RSUs. Any revenue RSUs that become vested will be paid to the NEO in whole shares of Company Common Stock within 30 days after the applicable vesting date.
TSR RSUs
TSR RSUs Pursuant to the TSR RSU awards, each NEO is eligible to vest in a number of RSUs ranging from 0% to 200% of the target number of TSR RSUs granted, based on the Company’s total stockholder return during a three year performance period commencing January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2026 relative to the total stockholder return of the Russell 2000 Index (the “Russell 2000 Relative Performance”). Subject to the NEO’s continued service through the applicable vesting date, up to 200% of the target number of TSR RSUs granted to the NEO will be eligible to vest based on the Russell 2000 Relative Performance during the performance period, with the actual number of TSR RSUs that vest with respect to the performance period determined by multiplying (i) the total number of TSR RSUs (at target), by (ii) the applicable “vesting percentage,” as set forth below:
TSR RSUs
| | Russell 2000 Relative Performance | Vesting Percentage | | Stretch | ≥ 90th percentile | 200% | | Maximum | 75th percentile | 150% | | Target | 50th percentile | 100% | | Threshold | 25th percentile | 50% | | Below Threshold | <25th percentile | 0% |
TSR RSUs
If the Russell 2000 Relative Performance falls between the levels specified above, the percentage of TSR RSUs that vest will be determined using straight line linear interpolation between such levels. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s absolute total stockholder return during the three-year performance period is negative, the vesting percentage will not exceed 100%. Following the completion of the performance period, the Compensation Committee will determine the Russell 2000 Relative Performance, the absolute total shareholder return and the number of TSR RSUs that have become vested with respect to the performance period (the date of such determination by the Compensation Committee, the “TSR vesting date”). Any TSR RSUs that have not become vested as of the TSR vesting date will be forfeited without consideration therefore and the NEO will have no further right or interest in or with respect to such forfeited TSR RSUs. Any TSR RSUs that become vested will be paid to the NEO in whole shares of Company Common Stock within 30 days after the applicable vesting date. Certain of our NEOs’ performance-based RSUs are subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, as described below under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.
Performance-Based RSU Vesting Based on 2024 Performance
Performance-Based RSU Vesting Based on 2024 Performance
Adjusted EBITDA RSU Vesting
Adjusted EBITDA RSU Vesting One-third of the adjusted EBITDA RSU awards granted to each of our NEOs in 2024 (the "First 2024 adjusted EBITDA Tranche") were eligible to vest based on achievement of adjusted EBITDA goals as of the end of the first year of the performance period, which commenced January 1, 2024 and ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Performance Year"). During the 2024 Performance Year, we achieved adjusted EBITDA of $23,547 resulting in the First 2024 adjusted EBITDA Tranche vesting at 200% of target.
Revenue RSU Vesting
Revenue RSU Vesting One-third of the Revenue RSU awards granted to each of our NEOs in 2024 (the "First 2024 Revenue Tranche") were eligible to vest based on achievement of revenue goals as of the end of the 2024 Performance Year. During the 2024 Performance Year, we achieved revenue of $332,927 resulting in the First 2024 Revenue Tranche vesting at 89% of target.
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements We provide for severance benefits and payments to each of our NEOs upon certain terminations without cause or resignations for good reason. Our compensation committee believes that these types of benefits are necessary to attract and retain executive talent and are a customary component of executive compensation. In particular, such benefits can mitigate a potential disincentive for our NEOs when they are evaluating a potential acquisition of the Company and can encourage retention through the conclusion of the transaction. Our severance and change in control payments and benefits are designed to be competitive with market practices. A description of these potential benefits, as well as information on the estimated payments and benefits that our NEOs would have been eligible to receive if a qualifying termination of employment or change in control had occurred on December 31, 2024, are set forth in “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. On November 6, 2024, September 30, 2024, and August 5, 2024, respectively, we entered into separation and general releases (the “separation agreement”) with Mr. Bellm, Ms. Eggerton, and Mr. Sumrall, in connection with their respective terminations of employment with us. Under the separation agreements, Mr. Bellm, Ms. Eggerton, and Mr. Sumrall became entitled to certain severance payments and benefits, subject to the applicable NEO's execution and non-revocation of the separation agreement, including the general release contained therein, and compliance with the terms thereof. A description of these severance payments and benefits are set forth in “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. Stock Ownership Guidelines. We believe that stock ownership aligns the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders and encourages long-term management of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders. We maintain stock ownership guidelines which apply to our senior leadership team. Under these guidelines, our senior leaders are required to acquire and maintain shares of our Common Stock having a value equal to the following multiples of their annual base salaries following the completion of a five-year phase-in period:
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
| Position | Required Stock Ownership | | Chief Executive Officer | 3x annual base salary | | All Other Senior Officers | 1x annual base salary |
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
Derivatives Trading, Hedging, and Pledging Policies. We have adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy that governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees that is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to the Company. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy provides that no employee, officer, or director may engage in any activity of the type that is designed to profit from or hedge against decreases in the value of the Company’s securities, such as short sales, trading activity designed to profit from fluctuations in the price of the Company’s securities (such as day trading and arbitrage trading), hedging transactions, and trading in puts, calls or other derivative securities. In addition, our Insider Trading Compliance Policy provides that no employee, officer, or director may pledge Company securities as collateral to secure loans. This prohibition means, among other things, that these individuals may not hold Company securities in a “margin” account, which would allow the individual to borrow against their holdings to buy securities. Equity Award Timing Policies and Practices. We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In the event material nonpublic information becomes known to the Compensation Committee before granting an equity award, the compensation committee will consider such information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant of equity to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the compensation committee has historically granted such awards on a predetermined annual schedule. During fiscal year 2024, we did not grant stock options or other equity awards to our NEOs during the four business days prior to or the one business day following the filing of our periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information. Clawback Policy. We maintain a mandatory clawback policy in compliance with SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards (the “Clawback Policy”). Our Clawback Policy provides that the Company shall recover from current or former executive officers excess incentive-based compensation (i.e., incentive compensation that is granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the attainment of one or more financial reporting measures) in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, unless the compensation committee determines that recovery would be impracticable. Section 409A. The compensation committee takes into account whether components of the compensation for our executive officers will be adversely impacted by the penalty tax imposed by Section 409A of the Code, and aims to structure these components to be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A to avoid such potential adverse tax consequences. Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the Code disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to “covered employees”, which generally includes all NEOs. While the compensation committee may take the deductibility of compensation into account when making compensation decisions, the compensation committee will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not deductible by us. “Golden Parachute” Payments. Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that certain executive officers and other service providers who are highly compensated or hold significant equity interests may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that we, or a successor, may forfeit a tax deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. While the compensation committee may take the potential forfeiture of such tax deduction into account when making compensation decisions, it will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not deductible by us. We do not provide any tax gross-ups to cover excise taxes under Section 4999 in connection with a change in control. Accounting for Share-Based Compensation. We follow Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, (“ASC Topic 718”), for our share-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and RSUs, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though our NEOs may never realize any value from their awards.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program
Non-Employee Director Compensation Program We maintain a compensation program for our non-employee non-investor-affiliated directors under which each non-employee non-investor-affiliated director receives the following amounts for their service on the Board: • an annual cash retainer of $35,000; • an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for the Chairman of the Board (who is currently ineligible to receive this payment due to his service as our Chief Executive Officer and President) and $20,000 for the Lead Independent Director; • an annual cash retainer of $20,000 for the Chair of the audit committee, $15,000 for the Chair of the compensation committee, and $8,000 for the Chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee; • an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for each member of the audit committee, $7,500 for each member of the compensation committee, and $4,000 for each member of the Nominating and corporate governance committee; and • an annual equity award with an approximate value of $181,300 in the form of RSUs, which vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, subject to the director’s continuous service with us through the applicable vesting date. Director fees under the program are payable in arrears in four equal quarterly installments, provided that the amount of each payment is prorated for any portion of a quarter that a director is not serving on our Board. In 2024, all eligible directors elected to receive their annual cash retainers in the form of RSUs; accordingly, all 2024 director compensation was paid in the form of RSU awards in lieu of cash.
CEO PAY RATIO
CEO PAY RATIO As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation of our median employee to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”). We experienced a CEO transition effective October 1, 2024 and, as permitted by Item 402(u), for purposes of calculating our 2024 pay ratio, we used the annualized total 2024 compensation of Mr. Hess, who was the CEO serving in such position on the date we identified our median employee. We consider the pay ratio specified below to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. For 2024, the annual total compensation of the employee who represents our median compensated employee (other than our CEO) was $104,145. The annualized total compensation of Mr. Hess for 2024 was $4,609,653. Based on this information, for 2024, the annual total compensation of our CEO was approximately 44 times the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than the CEO). We believe the pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The Company used our employee population data as of December 31, 2024 as the reference date for identifying our median employee. As of such date, our employee population consisted of approximately 1,163 individuals. To identify the median employee from our employee population, we used target cash compensation, which was defined as annualized base salary/hourly wages plus any target bonuses or commissions. In identifying the median employee, we assumed standard working hours for hourly employees and converted all non-US employee compensation to USD using the currency exchange rate as of December 31, 2024. With respect to the annual total compensation of the employee who represents our median compensated employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation for 2024 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, in accordance with SEC rules, we elected to use the annualized annual total compensation of our CEO who was serving as our PEO on December 31, 2024.
PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
