In addition, in November 2024 we began an internal investigation regarding our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and made voluntary disclosures of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”).

An unfavorable outcome of this investigation may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our voluntary disclosures.
