2024年12月12日，Chandra R. Patel辭去了公司董事會（“董事會”）成員的職務。Patel先生的辭職並非因與公司在運營、政策或實踐方面存在任何分歧。隨後，在2024年12月12日，Patel先生根據來自全球貨幣合作伙伴贊助商II, LLC（“贊助商”）的書面通知被解除董事會成員職務，該通知依據2024年7月8日公司、贊助商和Roshan Pujari（“股東協議”）之間的股東協議，該解除立即生效。根據股東協議，贊助商有權指定一名董事加入董事會（“指定董事”）。之前，贊助商通過這一權力指定了Patel先生，他自2024年7月8日起一直擔任董事會成員。2024年12月12日，贊助商指定Martyn Buttenshaw爲其指定董事，以填補因Patel先生的辭職而產生的董事會空缺。

根據董事會提名與公司治理委員會的建議，並根據股東協議中贊助人有權指定董事的規定，董事會於2024年12月16日任命Martyn Buttenshaw填補董事會的空缺，任命自2024年12月16日起生效。布滕肖先生將擔任一類董事，任期至公司2025年年度股東大會及其繼任者正式當選並符合資格爲止，或在他去世、辭職或被免職之前。

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Indemnification Agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2024 and incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.
