#### Report of the Audit Committee
The information contained in this Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing (except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference) and shall not otherwise be deemed “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act (except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference).

The Audit Committee provides an avenue of communication among management, the independent registered public accounting firm, the internal auditors and the Board. The Audit Committee’s purpose includes assisting the Board in its oversight of the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. Management is responsible for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. EY, our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for conducting an independent audit of our annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing a report on the results of their audit, as well as expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

With respect to the Company’s independent auditors, the Audit Committee, among other things, discussed with EY matters relating to its independence, and received from the independent auditors their letter and the written disclosures required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EY’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence.

The Audit Committee has reviewed our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and has discussed these consolidated financial statements with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, our independent registered public accounting firm various communications that they are required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence
