 experience for our customers regardless of the ultimate sales channel, our ability to compete and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Failure to maintain, upgrade, or replace our IT systems could materially adversely affect us.

Our business continues to demand the use of sophisticated systems and technologies, including digital tools, SaaS offerings and cloud computing. As a result, we devote significant time and resources in maintaining, upgrading or replacing our systems and technologies in order to meet customers' demands and expectations. These types of activities subject us to additional costs and inherent risks associated with maintaining, upgrading, replacing, and changing these systems and technologies, including impairment of our ability to manage our business, loss of customer confidence and business, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, demands on management time, training our employees to operate the systems, and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to, or integrating, new systems and technologies into our current business.

Our competitive position may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain, upgrade or replace systems and technologies that allow us to manage our business in a

Additionally, any failure of a system or technology could impede our ability to timely collect and report financial results in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence could give rise to legal or regulatory action, damage our reputation, or otherwise materially harm of our business.

We have begun implementing the use of certain artificial intelligence tools within our business while continuing to explore the opportunities that artificial intelligence could bring to us. Our use of artificial intelligence technologies may not be successful and may present business, compliance, and reputational risks. The use of
