Dr. Wilson represented New Mexico in the U.S. Congress from 1998-2009, where she served on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Dr. Wilson is a member of the National Science Board and serves on the board of directors of Google Public Sector, a subsidiary of Google LLC.

For her service on the Board of Directors, Dr. Wilson will receive the Company’s standard compensation for non-employee directors. A description of such standard compensation arrangement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 25, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference.
