Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a level of reasonable assurance.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management 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 Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed in Part II - Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to (i) the design and maintenance of an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and (ii) design and effectiveness of controls related to the period-end financial reporting process, including, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures. We concluded that these material weaknesses arose because we did not have sufficient resources with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately.

Management implemented certain remediation efforts in 2024 and 2025. We have continued onboarding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting specialists to enhance the financial reporting function and establish a robust financial and system control framework, and strengthened the controls around our financial accounting closing, reporting and disclosure processes. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we completed our testing and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and determined that as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was designed and operating effectively for a sufficient period for management to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the actions described above to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
