Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, including BDO’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, the review of the interim financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by BDO in connection with regulatory or registration filings.

Audit-Related Fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees consist primarily of foreign tax compliance services for fiscal 2024 and relate to professional services for tax studies for fiscal 2023.

All Other Fees consist of fees for services other than the services reported above.

In fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, no services other than the audit and tax services discussed above were provided by BDO.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the audit-related services described above by BDO is compatible with maintaining auditor independence and determined that BDO’s provision of audit-related services did not compromise its independence as our independent registered public accounting firm.
