 Committee have continued to assess evolving areas of risk, with a particular focus on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and information technology systems or software that may incorporate GenAI capacities into Getty’s business. We have adopted certain changes to our Business Conduct Guidelines and our Employee Handbook to provide guiding principles in an effort to facilitate the responsible use of GenAI technology by our employees, officers and directors as it relates to our business and operations. The full Board of Directors and the Audit Committee receive quarterly updates through the Company’s enterprise risk management report, as discussed above, and may receive additional updates from time to time on notable AI developments and regulatory considerations through presentations by our Chief Financial Officer or external experts as part of their ongoing education on issues impacting public companies. For additional information regarding the Audit Committee’s role in assisting the Board of Directors in its oversight of risk assessment and risk mitigation, including with respect to information security and data protection, see the “Report of the Audit Committee—Oversight Responsibilities—Enterprise Risk Management” and “—Information Security and Data Protection” sections on pages 60and 61of this Proxy Statement. The Audit Committee’s Charter was amended in February 2025 to provide that the Audit Committee’s oversight responsibilities for risk assessment and risk management expressly includes responsibility for GenAI. The Audit Committee also oversees the Company’s legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and the independent auditors, and the Company’s compliance programs, including the Company’s Business Conduct Guidelines, and Complaint and Investigation Procedures.
