### Board Oversight of Risk Management
The company operates in a highly-regulated industry. The Board’s role in managing the company’s risk is one of informed oversight. The Board assists management in shaping the company’s overall risk philosophy and works with management to set the “tone at the top” such that prudent mitigation of risk is incorporated into business decision-making at the company. We have developed compliance programs overseen by our global chief compliance officer (which position reports to our general counsel) or their designee that are designed to monitor risks and to detect and reasonably prevent wrongdoing by employees across the company and its subsidiaries. In addition, we have an enterprise risk management committee that is responsible for developing an integrated approach and process for managing the company’s risks.

The Board is regularly informed about the most significant risks affecting the company and assesses the appropriateness of management’s responses to such risks. The Board’s oversight of risk management includes, among other things:

• regularly communicating with management regarding actual and potential risks to the company arising from its operating environment;

• meeting with members of the company’s information technology department and other key personnel to review significant operational issues or findings, to assess information security (including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data privacy) risks and to evaluate the status of the company’s cybersecurity
