.com/corporate-governance.The composition of the audit committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the audit committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The audit committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter and the audit committee’s performance on an annual basis. With respect to the Company’s financial reporting process, the Company’s management is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and to issue a report thereon. It is the responsibility of the audit committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the audit committee to prepare the Company’s financial statements. Those are fundamental responsibilities of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the audit committee has:

| • |     | reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and EY; |

| • |     | discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of PCAOB and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); and |

| • |     | received the written disclosures and the letters from EY required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with EY its independence. |

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions with management and EY, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC.
