3, BIS issued regulations amending the October 7, 2022, export controls governing the export of certain semiconductor-related hardware and software to China. On December 2, 2024, BIS further expanded export controls on certain advanced semiconductors that can be used in advanced weapon systems and in AI and advanced computing products. These restrictions, and any subsequent restrictions, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition and we may no longer be able to license or support our products to certain companies in China. Furthermore, increased restrictions on China exports may lead to regulatory retaliation by the Chinese government and possibly further escalate geopolitical tensions, and any such scenarios may adversely impact our business. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions governments may take, whether the current U.S. presidential administration may impact such tensions, the extent to which we may be able to mitigate the effects of any trade-related actions, and the longer-term implications of trade-related actions on the market opportunities for us. The prospect of future export controls that are implemented in a similar manner may continue to have an ongoing impact on our business, results of operation, or financial conditions.

As a result of the foregoing, we and our applicable subsidiaries may need to take appropriate steps to comply with these regulations and the cost of doing so, as well as any failure to comply, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operation or financial condition.

We anticipate conducting certain of our operations through joint venture arrangements with Chinese entities. If the Chinese government determines that these arrangements do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be adversely affected. If the PRC
