The Committee also reviews with management any specific cybersecurity issues that could affect the adequacy of our internal controls and disclosure procedures and any public disclosures about our cybersecurity controls and procedures, the Board’s cybersecurity expertise, and its oversight of cybersecurity risk. The Committee periodically reports on its review of cybersecurity risks and our cybersecurity program to the Board. In 2024, the CISO or his team met with the Committee four times to discuss cybersecurity risks and threats.                                                                                                                                                                                 |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

 Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing our data privacy risks, controls and procedures, including our efforts to mitigate cybersecurity risks and to respond to data breaches. The Committee receives periodic updates on our data privacy program and in its oversight role, sets the expectation that we address the risks we face and take action to mitigate those risks. We have various technical, administrative, and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use, or disclosure of customer, consumer and patient information and data we collect and store. We have a Compliance and Privacy Officer and dedicated privacy experts who advise the business on privacy risks and assesses the effectiveness of privacy controls and compliance with various legislative and regulatory requirements. In 2024, our Compliance and Privacy Officer and AI experts met with the Committee twice to discuss data privacy matters. |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

The Committee furthermore assists our Board to manage and oversee long-term and emergency succession planning for our non-CEO executives.
