Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As previously disclosed, we have undertaken a multi-year, transformative process of redesigning numerous workflows that is intended to modernize and consolidate our technology platforms and associated processes across our organization.

As part of this process, we have created shared business operations to carry out certain financial and operational functions and have been implementing a new enterprise resource planning system, or ERP.

In connection with the human capital management module of the ERP becoming operational during the fourth quarter of 2024, new internal controls have been implemented and certain existing internal controls have been replaced or modified.

Other than changes related to implementation of the human capital management module of the new ERP, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during this three-month period that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is included herein at page 127 .
