 binding on the Committee. If our stockholders do not ratify the Committee’s selection, the Committee will reconsider its decision, but it could choose to reaffirm its appointment of KPMG LLP. If our stockholders ratify the Committee’s selection, the Committee could, in its discretion, appoint different independent accountants during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to participate remotely in our virtual Annual Meeting and be available to respond to appropriate questions, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

Proposal 3: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Accountants Services and Fees during 2024 and 2023 Our Audit Committee pre-approvesall audit services and other services provided by our accountants. While the entire Audit Committee generally participates in the pre-approvalof services, the Committee delegates authority to its Chairman to approve requests for non-auditservices. Any such approval by the Chairman is communicated to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. All audit and non-auditservices provided by KPMG LLP during 2024 were approved under the above procedure. As our independent accountants for 2024 and 2023, KPMG LLP provided us with various audit and other services for which we and FCB were billed or expect to be billed for fees as described below. Our Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-auditservices by KPMG LLP during 2024 was compatible with maintaining its independence, and it believes that the provision of non-auditservices by KPMG LLP during 2024 did not affect its independence. The following table lists the aggregate amounts of fees paid to KPMG LLP for audit services for 2024 and 2023 and for other services they provided during 2024 and 2023.
