Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 due to the on-going remediation efforts associated with the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report and the need for impacted controls to operate for a sufficient period of time and for management to conclude, through testing, that the controls are designed and operating effectively.

Notwithstanding the pending remediation efforts described below, based on additional analysis and other post-closing procedures performed, management believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Remediation Plans to Address Material Weaknesses

To date, we have implemented certain measures to address the controls and procedures deficiencies identified in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report.

Since the date of our Annual Report, we have executed on the following remediation actions:

redesigned access administration procedures to include steps to ensure retention of documentation supporting requests and approvals;

enhanced user access review procedures to ensure timely reviews of elevated access, removal of terminated users and appropriateness of user roles;

reviewed elevated access entitlements in the systems supporting our financial processes and have further restricted access or developed compensating controls;

redesigned change management procedures to ensure effective monitoring controls and retention of documentation supporting requests and approvals;

developed and implemented change management monitoring controls for key information used in the preparation of our financial statements; and

engaged external advisors to assist with evaluating and documenting the design and operating effectiveness of our IT general controls.

Our remediation plan currently includes additional actions that management intends to undertake during the year ending December 31, 2025:

enhancing training programs addressing IT general controls and policies, including educating control owners concerning the principles and requirements of each control;

increasing the frequency of testing to monitor IT general controls with a specific focus on systems supporting our financial reporting processes; and

hiring additional personnel with relevant compliance expertise to support the ongoing design and maintenance of effective IT general controls.

We are working aggressively and prioritizing the above actions to complete our remediation plan before December 31, 2025. We believe that these actions, when fully implemented, will remediate the deficiencies identified in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report. Those deficiencies will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the applicable controls are designed and operating effectively. As we continue to evaluate and improve the applicable controls, management may take additional remedial measures or modify the remediation plan described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the items referred to above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected or preventable.
