Upon the recommendation of our Audit Committee, our Board of Directors has appointed the firm BDO USA as our principal independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. BDO USA has been our independent auditors since June 2006.

If the appointment of BDO USA is not ratified or if it declines to act or their engagement is otherwise discontinued, the Board of Directors will appoint other independent auditors. Representatives of BDO USA are expected to be virtually present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting, if they so desire.

Before our principal accountant is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, as required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or Nasdaq, such engagement is approved by the Audit Committee.

The following are the fees of BDO USA, our principal accountant (PCAOB ID: 243), for the two years ended December 31, 2023, for services rendered in connection with the audit for those respective years (all of which have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee):

Audit Fees consist of the aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q and for any other services that were normally provided by our auditors in connection with our statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit Related Fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and were not otherwise included in Audit Fees. These fees primarily relate to audits of employee benefit plans.

Our Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services described above is compatible with maintaining our auditors’ independence and determined that such services are appropriate.
