 SEC rules that involve the Company or its subsidiaries. We have adopted a formal written policy that requires the Audit Committee to review and, if appropriate, to approve or ratify any transaction exceeding $120,000 in value in which the Company is, or will be, a participant, and in which any of the Company’s directors or executive officers or any of their immediate family members had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. After its review, the Audit Committee will only approve or ratify those transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith. During fiscal 2024, there were no transactions, and there currently are no proposed transactions, meeting the criteria outlined above.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is composed of directors that are “independent” as defined under the NYSE corporate governance listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management is responsible for the Company’s financial statements and the financial reporting process, including implementing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of, and reporting on, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2024, KPMG, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including a discussion of the reasonableness of significant judgments and clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with management the disclosures made in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements
