The Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), to oversee the Company’s corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions including the following: • evaluating the performance of and assessing the qualifications of the independent auditors; • determining and approving the engagement of the independent auditors; • determining whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; • reviewing and approving the retention of the independent auditors to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; • monitoring the rotation of partners of the independent auditors on the Company’s audit engagement team as required by law; • reviewing and approving or rejecting transactions between the Company and any related persons; • conferring with management and the independent auditors regarding the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; • establishing procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and • meeting to review the Company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor. The Audit Committee met five times during 2024. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at www.heliusmedical.com .
