### Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Our Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy framework for audit and non-audit services, which established that the Audit Committee may adopt a pre-approval policy framework each year under which specified audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services may be performed without further specific engagement pre-approval. On January 30, 2025, the Audit Committee readopted such policy framework for 2025. Under the policy framework, all tax services provided by the independent auditor must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Requests or applications to provide services that do require further, separate approval by the Audit Committee are required to be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditors and the chief accounting officer, chief financial officer or controller of the Company, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, the nature or type of service is not a prohibited non-audit service under the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
