 committee concerning independence, and our audit committee discussed with PwC the firm’s independence. Our audit committee also concluded that PwC’s provision of other permitted non-audit services to us and our related entities is compatible with PwC’s independence. Based upon the foregoing considerations, our audit committee recommended to the board of directors that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the SEC. The members of our audit committee submit the foregoing report as of March 6, 2025.
