 the Company Financial Statements. The books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have been, and are
being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements. As of the date of this Agreement, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not resigned (or informed the Company that it intends to
resign) or been dismissed as independent public accountants of the Company.

(c) The Company maintains, and at all times since
January 1, 2023 has maintained, a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the
Exchange Act). Such internal control over financial reporting is sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in
all material respects. The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that are
sufficient to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the
preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents. The Company has disclosed in writing, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and
the audit committee of the Company Board (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, known to the Company, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. There is no reason to believe that the Company’s outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial
officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, without qualification, when next due. Since January 1, 2023, no
executive officer of the Company has failed in any respect to make the certifications required of such executive officer under Section 302 or Section
