NOTE 13—DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering substantially all the Company’s employees.

Since January 1, 2020, the Company has matched 50% of employee contributions to the Company’s 401(k) Plan based on each participant’s contribution during the plan year up to 4.0% of each participant’s annual compensation.

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company made matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) Plan of $78,000 and $74,000, respectively.
