 “AGAINST” this proposal. The Audit Committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, including reviewing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us and any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance. Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. To assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of our independent external audit firm. In addition, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of Deloitte’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee is directly involved with the selection of Deloitte’s new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee believes that the engagement of Deloitte to serve as our independent external auditor is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. BDO previously served as our independent registered accounting firm, and on March 28, 2023, the Audit Committee chose not to renew the engagement of BDO and approved the engagement of Deloitte. The Company notified BDO on March 28, 2023 that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The decision to change independent registered public accounting firms was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee. BDO’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through March 28, 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the adoption of new accounting standards. In connection with BDO’s audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal, there were no (i) disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or
