 Ernst & Young (“E&Y”) as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2024. It is the Audit Committee’s policy that the Company’s independent auditors be engaged to provide primarily audit and audit-related services. However, pursuant to the policy, in certain circumstances and using stringent standards in its evaluation, the Audit Committee may authorize the Company’s independent auditors to provide tax or other non-audit related services when it determines that the Company’s independent auditors will be the most efficient and effective service provider. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services performed by the independent auditor. The policy provides for preapproval by the Audit Committee of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee authority to approve permitted services, provided that the Chair reports any decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Each year prior to engaging the Company’s independent auditor, the Company submits to the Audit Committee for approval a list of services expected to be provided during that fiscal year within each of the three categories of services described below, as well as related estimated fees, which are generally based on time and materials. All services provided by the Company’s independent auditor during 2024 were preapproved in accordance with this policy. The Audit Committee, after review and discussion with the Company’s independent auditor of the preceding information, determined that the provision of these services was compatible with maintaining the Company’s independent auditor’s independence.
