Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that assessment, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP; (3) provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (4) 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 consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework (the “COSO Framework”) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). Based on this assessment under the COSO Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

Our independent registered public accounting firm has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, and as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Their report is included beginning on page F-[ ] of this Annual Report.

Remediation of Previous Material Weakness

We previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which was remediated during 2025.

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

As previously disclosed, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and program change management over certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes.

During 2025, management implemented and tested remediation measures designed to address the control deficiencies. These measures included enhancing user access review controls, adding new personnel, implementing additional monitoring activities, and providing supplemental training to relevant personnel. Management completed its testing of the design and operating effectiveness of these controls during 2025.

Based on the successful implementation and testing of these remediation efforts, management concluded that the previously identified material weakness was remediated as of December 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than as noted above in connection with the remediation of the previously identified material weakness, management has determined that there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
