The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approvingall non-auditservices that Deloitte performs for us. Specifically, the Audit Committee has pre-approvedthe use of Deloitte for: detailed, specific types of services related to tax compliance, planning and consultations; acquisition/disposition services, including due diligence; attestation and agreed upon procedures; consultations regarding accounting and reporting matters; and reviews and consultations on internal control and other related services. The Audit Committee has set a specific annual limit on the amount of non-auditservices (tax services and all other) that the Company can obtain from Deloitte (for 2024, this limit was approximately $7.7 million). The chair of the Audit Committee is authorized to pre-approveany audit or non-auditservice on behalf of the Audit Committee, provided these decisions are presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. We Have Hiring Restrictions for Deloitte Employees The Audit Committee has adopted restrictions on our hiring of any Deloitte partner, managing director, manager, staff member, advising member of the department of professional practice, reviewing actuary, reviewing tax professional and any other individuals responsible for providing audit assurance on any aspect of Deloitte’s audit and review of our financial statements. We Rotate Key Audit Partners and Periodically Consider Audit Firm Rotation The Audit Committee assures that key Deloitte partners assigned to our audit are rotated as required at least every five years, and the Audit Committee and its chair actively participate in selecting each new lead engagement partner. To help ensure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee also periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent registered public accountants.
