Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business.

We rely extensively on information technology ("IT") systems, including Internet sites, data hosting facilities and other hardware and software platforms, some of which are hosted by third parties, to assist in conducting our businesses. These IT systems, like those used by most companies, may be vulnerable to a variety of disruptions, including, but not limited to, those caused by natural disasters, telecommunications failures, hackers, and other security issues. Moreover, these IT systems, like those of most companies, are subject to the possibility of computer viruses or other malicious codes, and to security breaches, cyber incidents, ransomware attacks or phishing-attacks. Cyber intrusion efforts are becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated, including as a result of the use of artificial intelligence, and it is possible that any controls we or third parties have installed could at some time be breached in a material respect. While, to date, we have not had a cybersecurity disruption, failure, breach or attack that had a material impact on our business or results of operations, if we were to be subject to a material successful cyber-incident, that could result in remediation or service restoration costs, increased cyber protection costs, lost revenues or loss of customers, litigation or regulatory actions by governmental authorities, increased insurance premiums, reputational damage and damage to our competitiveness, our stock price and our long-term stockholder value. We may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damages caused by information technology failures or security breaches (including through the provision of insurance).

Failure to maintain the security of personally identifiable information could adversely affect us.

In connection with our business we and the third parties we work with collect and retain personally identifiable information (e.g., information regarding our customers, suppliers and employees), and our customers, suppliers and employees have an expectation that we will adequately protect that information. The U.S. regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding. A significant theft, loss or fraudulent use of the personally identifiable information we [or third parties] maintain, or of our data, by cyber-criminals or otherwise could adversely impact our reputation and could result in significant costs, fines and litigation. We may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damages caused by the failure to satisfy privacy and data protection laws and regulations in the future as legal requirements continue to increase, including through the provision of insurance

International activities subject us to risks inherent in international operations.
