Risk Committee

Our Board of Directors has established
a risk committee, which is composed of three of our independent directors, Messrs. Chavers and Reilly and Ms. Mills. Ms. Bell was appointed
as chair of the risk committee on June 5, 2024 as successor to Mr. Chavers, the prior chair. On April 11, 2025, in connection with Ms.
Bell’s resignation on April 9, 2025, Mr. Chavers was re-appointed chair of the risk committee. The risk committee assists the Board
in the oversight of our risk governance structure; our risk management and risk assessment guidelines and policies regarding market, credit,
enterprise risk, liquidity, leverage, counterparty, funding and reputational risk and such other risks as necessary to fulfill the risk
committee’s duties and responsibilities; risk tolerance; and capital, liquidity and funding.
