 REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</div>

Our Audit Committee has selected JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, and has further directed that we submit the selection of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

We are not required to submit the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for stockholder approval but are submitting our selection of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT for stockholder ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders do not ratify this selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT. Even if the selection is ratified, our Audit Committee may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that the change would be in our best interests.

Representatives of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT are expected to be present by video at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

All audit, audit-related, tax and other services rendered by JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT have been and will be reviewed, pre-approved and performance monitored by the Audit Committee. Audit and permissible non-audit services may be pre-approved by the Audit Committee delegate represented by Mr. Chee Keong Yap, its chair, or Mr. Muhammad Azrul bin Abdul Hamid, an Audit Committee member, if Mr. Anderson is not available. Pre-approval decisions are reported by the chair/delegate to the Audit Committee promptly but not later than the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting.

In its review of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT's services, the Audit Committee considers, among other factors, the possible impact of the performance of such services on the independence of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT. The Audit Committee has determined that the services performed by JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT for the year ended December 31, 2024, were compatible with maintaining the independence of JP CENTURION & PARTNERS PLT.
