, the Audit Committee and the Board believe it is appropriate to seek shareholder ratification of this appointment in light of the role played by the independent registered public accounting firm in reporting on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If a quorum is present at the Meeting and the appointment of Deloitte as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 is not ratified by the shareholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the Audit Committee in determining whether to appoint Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the succeeding fiscal year. Principal Accounting Fees and Services The following table sets forth for the Company the aggregate fees billed by Deloitte for the Company’s last two fiscal years, as a result of professional services rendered for: (1) Audit Fees for professional services provided by Deloitte for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements; (2) Audit-Related Fees for any services rendered by Deloitte to the Company that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits or reviews of the Company’s consolidated financial statements (but not reported as audit fees above). These services include attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards; (3) Tax Fees for all services performed by professional staff in Deloitte’s tax division except those services related to the audits. This category includes fees for services provided in connection with the preparation and review of tax returns, tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning; and (4) All Other Fees for products and services provided to the Company by Deloitte other than those services reported below under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”
