Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on such assessment, our management has concluded that, as of 31 December 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Remediation of previously identified material weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023 filed with the SEC on 27 March 2024, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the failure to design and maintain effective IT general controls over user access, change management, database management and segregation of duties for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements.

Management, in consultation with the Audit Committee, took steps to remediate the material weakness by successfully implementing a plan to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, which included: (i) hiring IT personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and technical experience to design and maintain IT general controls; (ii) designating clear IT General control owners and operators; (iii) refining and enforcing policies and procedures in relation to the design and operation of IT general controls; (iv) continuing to implement the IT general controls framework; and (v) where necessary, identifying, implementing, and documenting IT general controls. Management has determined that these controls were designed and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and concluded that this material weakness has been remediated as of 31 December 2024.
