 the independent auditor’s communication of its Audit Report to the Audit Committee. This report includes critical audit matters, which are audit matters that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee relating to accounts or disclosures that are material to Tidewater’s financial statements and that involved especially challenging, subjective or complex auditor judgment. The Audit Committee received from the independent auditor the written disclosures and letters required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent auditor its independence. The Audit Committee also discussed with Company management and PricewaterhouseCoopers the evaluation of Tidewater’s reporting and internal controls undertaken in connection with certifications made by Tidewater’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Tidewater’s periodic SEC filings pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed such other matters as it deemed appropriate, including Tidewater’s compliance with Section 404 and other relevant provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE. The Audit Committee has discussed with, and received regular status reports from, Tidewater’s internal audit team and the independent auditor on the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, including the scope and plans for evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also meets with Tidewater’s internal audit team and the independent auditor, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their respective audits, in addition to private meetings with the Chief Financial Officer. Based on the reports and discussions described in this report and subject to the limitations on the roles and responsibilities of the Audit Committee referred to above and in its Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of Tidewater and Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC.
