The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP to act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We are requesting the Company’s stockholders to ratify such appointment. If no direction is given to the contrary, all proxies received by the Board will be voted “FOR”ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Neither the Board nor the Audit Committee is required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee may investigate the reasons for such rejection but may, nevertheless, continue to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time. In addition to performing the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, Deloitte & Touche LLP provided various other services for the Company during the last two fiscal years. The aggregate fees billed for the last two fiscal years are set forth below:
