For Ms. Francisco’s first partial year of Board service, her annual cash retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of cash and her annual equity retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of fully vested shares.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Francisco and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Francisco was selected as a director. Ms. Francisco has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
