The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight The Company has established a Risk Committee, which is primarily responsible for the Company’s enterprise risk assessment and enterprise risk management oversight. The Risk Committee is co-chaired by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer and includes various other members of senior management. The role of the Board of Directors in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving reports and presentations from the Risk Committee or other senior management leaders on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, strategic, reputational, cybersecurity and Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) related risks and any measures taken to mitigate such risks. In addition, the Board of Directors regularly reviews and discusses areas of material risk at its meetings. In essence, the Board of Directors oversees a company-wide approach to risk management, carried out by Company management. With respect to cybersecurity risk, the Board (through the Audit Committee) periodically reviews information on management’s policies and processes related to the Company’s cybersecurity and data-protection, including related to monitoring, controlling and mitigating against such risks, and the entire Board receives periodic updates on the Company’s cybersecurity risk management processes.

Notwithstanding such delegation of responsibility by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Board has reserved to the Company’s Compensation Committee primary oversight responsibility to ensure that compensation programs and practices
