Risk Management and Strategy

We believe cybersecurity is critical to supporting our vision and enabling our strategy. We face a multitude of cybersecurity threats that are common to most industries, such as ransomware and denial-of-service. Our customers, suppliers, and partners face similar cybersecurity threats and, while we have not been materially affected to date, a cybersecurity incident impacting us or any of these entities could materially adversely affect our operations, performance, and results of operations. These cybersecurity threats and related risks make it imperative that we maintain a strong focus on cybersecurity.

We asses, identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats through various policies, procedures and processes of our information technology ("IT") department, which include 1) review of IT security policy and change management policy review, 2) IT control procedures, 3) firewall reviews, 4) system backups and 5) procurement of cyber liability insurance.

The Company also engages an IT consultant to frequently review and monitor policies, procedures and processes designed to mitigate the risk of cybersecurity threats. The IT consultant has regular communication with the Company's Chief Financial Officer to address any issues or concerns that may arise.

Governance

The Board of Directors oversees the risks of cybersecurity threats and communicates with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding controls in place. Any cybersecurity threats, breaches or other concerns are immediately communicated to the Board of Directors.
