, is requesting ratification by our stockholders of the appointment of, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee considered a number of factors in determining whether to re-engagePwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including the length of time the firm has served in this role, the firm’s professional qualifications and resources, the firm’s past performance, and the firm’s capabilities in handling the breadth and complexity of our business, as well as the potential impact of changing independent auditors. PwC has served as our or our predecessor’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2011. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If our stockholders do not ratify the selection of PwC, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, but the Audit Committee may also elect to retain PwC. In addition, if our stockholders ratify the selection of PwC as independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee may nevertheless periodically request proposals from the major registered public accounting firms and as a result of such process may select PwC or another registered public accounting firm as our independent auditors. Representatives of PwC are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. Audit and Other Fees The table below sets forth the aggregate fees billed by PwC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, for the last two fiscal years (in millions):
