Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting processes; for the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and related procedures; and for the execution of the Company’s risk management function. In performing its oversight function, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

In addition, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including the guidelines and policies that govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken.
