 fees include
tax compliance, tax planning, tax advisory and related tax services.

All Other Fees: No other fees
were billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 23, 2023, respectively.

The audit committee has also adopted
policies and procedures for pre-approving all non-audit work performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Specifically,
the audit committee pre-approved the use of Ernst & Young for the following categories of non-audit services: merger and acquisition
due diligence; tax services; internal control reviews; securitization and securities issuance deals, and reviews and procedures that we
request Ernst & Young to undertake to provide assurance on matters not required by laws or regulations. In each case, the audit committee
also set a specific annual limit on the amount of such services that we would obtain from Ernst & Young, required management to report
the specific engagements to the audit committee on a quarterly basis and required management to obtain specific pre-approval from the
audit committee for any engagement over five percent of the total amount of revenues estimated to be paid by us to Ernst & Young during
the then current fiscal year. Our audit committee approved the hiring of Ernst & Young to provide all the services detailed above
prior to Ernst & Young’s engagement. None of the services related to the audit-related fees described above was approved by
the audit committee pursuant to a waiver of pre-approval provisions set forth in the applicable rules of the SEC.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM FOR THE YEAR 2025.
