The policy also lists certain services for which the independent auditor is always prohibited from providing us under applicable requirements of the SEC or the PCAOB. Pursuant to the policy, our audit committee has delegated preapproval authority to the chairman of the committee or his designee to approve any fees in excess of the annual preapproved limits for these categories of other permitted services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. The chairman must report any action taken pursuant to this delegated authority at the next meeting of the committee. For 2024, our audit committee preapproved all of PwC’s services provided to us or any of our subsidiaries in compliance with our preapproval policy without the use of the SEC’s de minimisexception to such preapproval requirement.
