OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS INC

Our Board and management exercise oversight over the Company’s cybersecurity program, which represents an important component of the Company’s overall approach to enterprise risk management.

Governance

Omega’s Vice President of Information Technology (“VP of IT”) manages a team responsible for leading enterprise-wide strategy, policy, standards, architecture, processes and risk assessment related to information security and data protection, including data privacy and network security (our “Cybersecurity Program”) and chairs a management-level AI Committee, responsible for AI governance, including technology, legal and financial risks associated with AI initiatives, within the Company. The VP of IT has served in various roles in information technology and information security for over 30 years and, along with other members of our IT department, holds relevant and applicable certifications. The VP of IT reports directly to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and provides periodic reporting on our Cybersecurity Program to our senior management team, our Board and the Audit Committee of our Board.

Our Board, in coordination with our Audit Committee, oversees our management of cybersecurity risk, with the Audit Committee reviewing and discussing with management matters related to our Cybersecurity Program as related to financial reporting on at least a quarterly basis. The Board and Audit Committee receive periodic reports about the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents, including material security risks and information security vulnerabilities. Additionally, risks associated with the Cybersecurity Program and AI initiatives are integrated into the Company’s enterprise risk management assessment and reported to our Board at least twice per year. We also share the key results of third-party assessments with our Board and Audit Committee.

Risk Management and Strategy

Technical Safeguards

Aspart of our Cybersecurity Program, the Company deploys technical safeguards that are designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, which are evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.

Risk Assessment

Our Cybersecurity Program also includes a regular risk assessment which is generally based on frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”), the results of which are reported to our Audit Committee.

Third-Party Risk Management

We also maintain policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks related to ouruse of material third-party vendors. This includes reviewing the internal controls of certain third-party service providers to assess their procedures to mitigate material security risks.

Incident Response and Recovery Planning

We maintain an Information Security Incident Response Plan (the “Response Plan”) governing detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents and threats. The Response Plan includes controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner, with appropriate involvement by our Board. We regularly test the effectiveness of the Response Plan.

External Assessments

We obtain periodic assessments by third party experts to assess our vulnerability management and security controls and to assist us in identifying and mitigating security risks. These assessments include annual penetration testing and comprehensive independent cybersecurity assessments conducted every other year, which are generally based on the NIST cybersecurity frameworks and may also incorporate other established cybersecurity best practices and standards.

Education and Awareness

We provide cybersecurity training for all directors, officers and employees and periodic additional training for senior management through our cyber insurance carrier.
