 all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by our external auditor to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the external auditor’s independence from us and our management. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee will review the proposed Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and All Other Services to be performed by the independent auditor. Following such review, the Audit Committee may pre-approve the scope and cost of such services. The payment for any proposed services in excess of pre-approved cost levels or the amendment of the fee levels or budgeted amounts, as well as any additional types of services requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
Pursuant to its pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve services to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The decisions of the Chairman to grant pre-approvals must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services to the management.
The Audit Committee has considered the non-audit services provided by BDO Bedrijfsrevisoren BV in 2024 and 2023 as described above and believes that they are compatible with their independence as our external auditor in those years. In accordance with Regulation S-X, Rule 2-01, paragraph (c)(7)(i), no fees for professional services were approved pursuant to any waivers of the pre-approval requirement.
