As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the financial and nonfinancial information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As disclosed in the Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders, management assessed the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in the 2013 “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and found it to be effective.

Crowe LLP ("Crowe"), the Company’s registered public accounting firm (U.S. PCAOB Auditor Firm I.D.:173), has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The audit report by Crowe is located in Item 8 of this report.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation or material weaknesses in such internal controls requiring corrective actions.
