ating and corporate governance committee, on June 12, 2024, Mr. Davis joined the audit committee, and effective January 31, 2025 following Ms. Richardson’s resignation, Mr. Davis was appointed chair of the audit committee. We believe that each of our audit committee members meets the requirements for financial literacy under the current requirements of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Davis and Sheehan is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations.

• approve the hiring, promotion, demotion or termination of the person in charge of our internal audit function;
