 the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which require the independent registered public accounting firm to communicate information to the committee regarding the scope and results of its audit of the company’s financial statements, including information with respect to the firm’s responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, significant accounting policies, management judgments and estimates, any significant unusual transactions or audit adjustments, any disagreements with management and any difficulties encountered in performing the audit and other similar matters required to be discussed with the committee by those standards. The committee also has received from Deloitte & Touche LLP a report providing the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. Deloitte & Touche LLP also has discussed its independence with the committee and confirmed in the report that, in its professional judgment, it is independent of the company within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The committee also considered whether Deloitte & Touche LLP’s provision of non-audit services to the company and its affiliates is compatible with its independence. The committee also has reviewed and discussed with the company’s management the audited financial statements included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Management has confirmed to the committee that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and that management has maintained an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP has expressed its professional opinions that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of the company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that management has maintained, in all material respects, an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed with the committee the certifications that each will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the policies and procedures management has adopted to support the certifications. Based on these considerations, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the company’s audited financial statements be included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
