Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2023, which is the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financing reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions or dispositions of our assets

Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States

Provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors, and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements

Due to its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

This report does not include an attestation report of our internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as a "non-accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Act.

Remediation of Prior Year Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses as previously reported in Part II, Item 9A "Controls and Procedures" of our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2022, in connection with our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, have been remediated. Since that time, our management, with the oversight of the audit committee of our Board of Directors, engaged in efforts to remediate the material weaknesses by implementing new and enhanced procedures and controls, including:

User access controls were redesigned and enhanced to appropriately manage risks related to segregation of duties and to restrict access to financial applications, programs and data to only authorized users.

Program change management controls were enhanced to ensure that information technology program changes affecting financial information technology applications and underlying accounting records were appropriately authorized and implemented.

Provided additional training to personnel, including the appropriate level of contemporaneous documentation to be maintained, to demonstrate the operation of review controls over the forecasts used in developing estimates of fair value.

These controls are adequately designed and have operated effectively for a sufficient period during the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, the material weaknesses were determined to be remediated as of December 31, 2023.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the completed remediation efforts described above in connection with the previously identified material weaknesses in our 2022 Form 10-K, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, as specified above. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objective will be met.
