The Audit Committee held four (4) meetings in 2024. Our Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Jennings, Caiano and Foreman, with Mr. Foreman serving as chair. Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) require that our Audit Committee be composed entirely of independent members. Our Board has affirmatively determined Messrs. Jennings, Caiano and Foreman each meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules. Each member of our Audit Committee also meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq listing standards. In addition, our Board has determined that Mr. Foreman qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The complete text of the Audit Committee’s current charter is available on our website at www.8co.holdings.
