11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We have a defined contribution profit sharing plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Plan”) covering only our U.S. based employees. Participants once eligible, as defined by the Plan, may contribute up to the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan also provides for safe harbor matching contributions, vesting immediately, at our discretion. For each year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, employer matching contributions were approximately $44,000 and $41,000, respectively.

Participants in the Plan, through self-directed brokerage accounts, held 16,772 shares in our Class A common stock as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Plan does not offer new issues of our common stock as an investment option.
