Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of such period because of certain material weaknesses in internal controls related to the accounting for the Company’s business combination with Transporeon, certain information technology general controls (“ITGCs”), undue reliance on controls over information technology (“IT”) interfaces, and the evaluation of standalone selling prices of performance obligations utilized in the accounting for revenue, all of which support the Company’s financial reporting processes.

(b) Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses.

As reported in our 2023 Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on January 15, 2025, we previously identified certain material weaknesses in internal controls as noted above. Management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee is currently taking actions to remediate these material weaknesses.

We have finalized the design of review controls over third-party valuation specialists to add greater levels of precision to detect and prevent potential misstatements, including the establishment of process and controls to evaluate adequate review and evidence used in the valuation of acquired intangible assets. The Company had an acquisition with a purchase price of $26 million in the second quarter of 2024 for which the Company successfully tested the operating effectiveness of the remediated design of applicable business combination controls.

We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of controls of certain ITGCs for business systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes.

We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of certain ITGCs and other controls for systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes, specifically on the IT interfaces that transfer data between the order processing system and (i) billing system; (ii) financial reporting system; or (iii) revenue calculation system impacting the majority of revenue.

We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of controls over the evaluation of standalone selling prices of performance obligations utilized in accounting for revenue, including review controls over pricing and discounting.

While we have taken steps to implement our remediation plan, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded through testing that the related controls are effective. The Company will continue to monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plans and refine plans as appropriate.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

In addition to the identified material weaknesses noted above, we are implementing a customer relationship management tool across our businesses as a strategic initiative that will replace many legacy systems and that could materially affect our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) under the Exchange Act). Other than as described above, there have been no changes which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter for which this report relates.
