 the Audit Committee or its designee. The Company’s pre-approval policy is more fully described in this Proxy Statement under the caption “Proposal 3 — Ratification of Selection of Auditors.” The Audit Committee has concluded that provision of the non-audit services described in that section is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP. In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed, with management and the independent auditors, the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence from the Company and its management. The Audit Committee has considered whether the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditors’ independence. Following the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
