FARADAY FUTURE INTELLIGENT ELECTRIC INC. 10-K

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting, or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm, as allowed by the SEC for reverse acquisitions between an issuer and a private operating company when it is not possible to conduct an assessment of the private operating company’s internal control over financial reporting in the period between the consummation date of the reverse acquisition and the date of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting (pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations). As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed the Merger on July 21, 2021, pursuant to which we acquired FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd. Prior to the Merger, we were a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger. As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date as our operations prior to the Merger were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Merger. The design of internal control over financial reporting for the Company post-Merger has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense, to conduct an assessment of FF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. Disclosure Controls and Procedures FF's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that FF files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on an evaluation of FF’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), FF’s Global Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively) have concluded that FF’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting FF identified material weaknesses in FF’s internal control over financial reporting. 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 its annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses are as follows: • FF did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Specifically, FF lacked a sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. Additionally, management did not establish formal reporting lines in pursuit of its objectives. Further, the lack of a sufficient number of professionals resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of its financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, among other things, insufficient segregation of duties in its finance and accounting functions. • FF did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls were not sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement to financial reporting, due to growth in the business. • FF did not design and maintain effective controls for communicating and sharing information between the legal, capital markets, and accounting and finance departments. Specifically, the accounting and finance departments were not consistently provided the complete and adequate support, documentation, and information including the nature of relationships with certain counterparties to record transactions within the financial statements timely, completely and accurately. 157 Table of Contents These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses: • FF did not design and maintain effective controls to address the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine, unusual or complex transactions, including the proper application of U.S. GAAP to such transactions. Specifically, FF did not design and maintain controls to timely identify and account for embedded derivatives related to convertible notes, impute interest on related party notes payable with interest rates below market rates, account for failed sale leaseback transactions, and account for warrant instruments. • FF did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including controls over the period-end financial reporting process addressing areas including financial statement and footnote presentation and disclosures, account reconciliations and journal entries, including segregation of duties, assessing the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used in controls, and the timely identification and accounting for cut-off of expenditures. These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments primarily related to expense cut-off and the associated accounts including operating expenses, accounts payable and accruals, property and equipment, convertible notes payable and interest expense and related financial disclosures, which were recorded as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. These material weaknesses also resulted in adjustments primarily related to the extinguishment of a noncontrolling interest, accounts payable, vendor payables in trust and adjustments to the statement of cash flows which were recorded as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as disclosure errors related to the anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, accrued interest for certain notes payable, and the fair value of the Vendor Trust as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, the material weakness related to accounting for warrant instruments resulted in the restatement of the previously issued financial statements of the entity acquired as part of the July 21, 2021 merger agreement related to warrant liabilities and equity. • FF did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements, specifically, with respect to (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel; and (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored. These IT deficiencies did not result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. In connection with the Special Committee Investigation, and the completion of additional investigative and remedial work based on Special Committee findings, which were performed under the direction of the newly-appointed Executive Chairperson, reporting to the Audit Committee, additional material weaknesses were identified in FF’s internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, in addition to the material weaknesses described above relating to management not establishing formal reporting lines in pursuit of its objectives as well as maintaining effective controls for communicating and sharing information between the legal, capital markets, and accounting and finance departments, the following material weaknesses were identified: • FF did not maintain an effective control environment or demonstrate a commitment to maintain integrity and ethical values. Specifically, certain members of senior management failed to reinforce the need for an attitude of compliance and internal control awareness with certain of FF’s governance, accounting and finance policies and procedures. This resulted in the inaccurate and incomplete disclosures of certain relationships, arrangements, and transactions. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weakness: • FF did not design and maintain effective controls related to the identification and disclosure of certain arrangements and transactions with related parties. The material weaknesses identified in connection with the Special Committee Investigation resulted in the revision of our previously filed financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020 related to notes payable, related party notes payable, accrued interest, related party accrued interest, interest expense, and related party interest expense. Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of substantially all of our accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. 158 Table of Contents Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is actively engaged and committed to taking the steps necessary to remediate the control deficiencies that constituted the material weaknesses. During 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, FF made the following enhancements to our internal control over financial reporting: • FF added finance and accounting personnel to the organization to strengthen our finance and accounting teams. The additional personnel are expected to provide oversight, structure, reporting lines, and additional review over our disclosures; • FF implemented certain new accounting policies and procedures, and an IT system relevant to the preparation of our financial statements to improve communication of key areas across the different departments at FF and to provide adequate structure, accountability, and segregation of duties; • FF appointed Becky Roof as Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and engaged an affiliate of AlixPartners LLP to accelerate implementation of Special Committee recommendations including, but not limited to remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; • FF implemented enhanced controls around FF’s related party transactions, including regular attestations; • FF removed YT Jia, FF’s founder, as an Executive Officer, although he will continue in his position as Chief Product & User Ecosystem Officer of the Company, reporting to the Executive Chairperson with his role limited to focusing on (a) Product and Mobility Ecosystem and (b) Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and advanced R&D technology; • Functions previously dual-reporting to Mr. Jia and Mr. Breitfeld will report only to Ms. Swenson (but Mr. Jia may remain involved in long-term strategy); and • FF adopted an Insider Investment Reporting Policy. Our remediation activities are continuing during 2022. In addition to the above actions, FF expects to engage in additional activities, including, but not limited to: • Continuing to hire key finance and accounting personnel as FF scales and until FF has sufficient technical accounting resources, combined with engaging external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of U.S. GAAP and to assist us with documenting and assessing our accounting policies and procedures; • Designing and implementing controls in response to the risks of material misstatement to identify and evaluate changes in our business and the impact on our internal controls; • Designing and implementing controls for communicating and sharing information between legal capital markets, and accounting to facilitate transactions being recorded timely and accurately; • Designing and implementing formal processes, accounting policies, procedures, and controls supporting certain business processes and our financial close process, including creating standard balance sheet reconciliation templates and journal entry controls; assessing the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used in controls; and the timely identification and accounting for cut-off of expenditures; • Designing and implementing controls to address the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine, unusual or complex transactions; • Designing and implementing controls related to the identification and disclosure of certain arrangements and transactions with related parties; • Continuing to implement additional IT systems relevant to the preparation of our financial statements and controls over financial reporting to improve communication of key areas across the different departments at FF and to provide adequate structure, accountability, and segregation of duties; and • Designing and implementing IT general controls, including controls over change management, the review and update of user access controls, and controls over critical batch jobs and data backups. While FF has made progress, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until FF completes the design and implementation of the enhanced controls, the controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and FF has concluded, through 159 Table of Contents testing, that these controls are effective. FF believes that our remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, FF may determine that additional measures or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, FF’s internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Information FF’s Audit Committee currently consists of Scott Vogel, Edwin Goh and Brian Krolicki, each of whom is “independent” as such term is defined for Audit Committee members under the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of NASDAQ. Mr. Vogel is the chair of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Edwin Goh, Brian Krolicki and Scott Vogel each qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the rules of the SEC. As more fully described in its charter, the primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee include (i) to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm and oversee the relationship, and approve the audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered accounting firm; (ii) to review FF’s quarterly and annual financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm; (iii) to review FF’s financial reporting processes and internal controls; (iv) to review and approve all transactions between FF and related persons; and (v) to discuss the policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, information technology and cybersecurity risks, and other major litigation and financial risk exposures, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available on FF’s website at https://investors.ff.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview. Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees The Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) is responsible for, among other things, determining the criteria for Board membership, recommending Board candidates, and proposing any changes to the composition of the Board; provided that the nomination of directors by FF Top are subject to the Shareholder Agreement. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Nominating Committee charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated: • should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service; • should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the Board and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and • should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the stockholders. In selecting director nominees, the Nominating Committee shall consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board. The Nominating Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting 164 Table of Contents experience, to meet specific Board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of Board members. It is the policy of the Nominating Committee to consider persons for Board nomination identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others, and to evaluate those individuals using the same criteria. The Nominating Committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons. The Company’s stockholders may recommend nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by submitting the names and supporting information to the Company’s Secretary or the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; provided that the nomination of directors by FF Top are subject to the Shareholder Agreement. Under the Shareholder Agreement entered into between FF and FF Top, based on FF Top having voting power over 36.2% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2022, FF Top currently has the right to nominate four out of nine directors on the Board. Code of Ethics FF has a Code of Ethics that applies to all of its employees, officers, and directors. This includes FF’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The full text of the Code of Ethics is posted on FF’s website at www.ff.com . FF intends to disclose on its website any future amendments of the Code of Ethics or waivers that exempt any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, persons performing similar functions, or FF’s directors from provisions in the Code of Ethics. Item 11. Executive Compensation This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for certain of FF’s executive officers and directors. As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, FF is not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and has elected to apply the scaled back disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which require compensation disclosure for FF’s principal executive officer and its two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2021 exceeded $100,000 and who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2021. We refer to these individuals as “named executive officers.” For 2021, FF’s named executive officers and the positions each held as of December 31, 2021 were: • Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, Global Chief Executive Officer • Chui Tin Mok, Executive Vice President and Head of User Ecosystem • Yueting Jia (YT Jia), Founder and Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer We expect that FF’s executive compensation program will continue to evolve to reflect FF’s status as a newly publicly-traded company, while still supporting FF’s overall business and compensation objectives of attracting, motivating and retaining individuals who contribute to the long-term success of FF. For example, during 2021, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of its Compensation Committee, adopted a clawback policy allowing FF to clawback compensation following a financial restatement or misconduct by a covered executive. Each of the named executive officers is subject to the clawback policy. The compensation committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for administering FF’s executive compensation program and, at the direction of the Compensation Committee, FF has retained Mercer (US) Inc. (“Mercer”), an independent executive compensation consultant, to help advise on FF’s executive compensation program. 2021 Compensation of Named Executive Officers Base Salary Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of the executive compensation program. In general, FF seeks to provide a base salary level designed to reflect each executive officer’s scope of responsibility and accountability. Please see the “Salary” column in the “Summary Compensation Table – Fiscal 2021” for the base salary amounts received by each named executive officer in 2021. Following the completion of the previously disclosed investigation by the special committee of independent directors in January 2022, FF’s Board of Directors approved a 25% reduction in the annual base salaries for Dr. Breitfeld and Mr. Jia. Bonuses During 2021, our named executive officers also received retention bonuses pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements.

In addition, during 2021, our named executive officers received lump sum bonuses equal to the amount by which each of his base salary was reduced pursuant to the Company’s Crowd Entrepreneurship Program (CEP), which was a voluntary salary reduction program adopted by the Company in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 crisis and which reduced salary was repaid through a combination of equity grants and a cash bonus. Pursuant to the terms of their offer letters, Messrs. Mok and Jia were also eligible for discretionary target bonuses in the amount of $300,000 and $350,000, respectively. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the actual discretionary bonus amounts for Messrs. Mok and Jia had not yet been determined.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Legacy FF reduced the base salaries of each NEO in March 2020, which continued through March 2021. The amounts reported in this column for 2020 and 2021 represent base salaries earned by the NEOs during fiscal 2020 and 2021, which included the application of the COVID-19 reduction. (2) Pursuant to the terms of their offer letters, Messrs. Mok and Jia were also eligible for discretionary target bonuses in the amount of $300,000 and $350,000, respectively. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the actual discretionary bonus 166 Table of Contents amounts for Messrs. Mok and Jia had not yet been determined. A Form 8-K disclosing these amounts will be filed if any discretionary bonuses are awarded with respect to 2021. (3) The amounts reported in this column reflect the grant date fair value of time-based restricted stock and time-based stock option awards, as applicable, granted to the named executive officers during 2021 and are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The awards were valued in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and, in the case of Dr. Breitfeld’s performance-based option, based on the assumed achievement of the performance condition at the time of grant, which was considered the probable achievement level at the time of grant. Please see Note 14 to the Audited Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating these amounts. (4) For Dr. Breitfeld, this amount includes (1) $202,692 for each of 2020 and 2021, which is the market value of the corporate housing provided to Dr. Breitfeld in each applicable year, (2) a tax reimbursement for 2021 of $199,315 with respect to the corporate housing benefit, and (3) the value of a rental car provided to Dr. Breitfeld during the applicable years in the amounts of $11,350 for 2021 and $19,219 for 2020. FF updated its methodology for determining the aggregate incremental cost of corporate housing as compared to its prior filings. Previously, the methodology used to determine the cost of the corporate housing was determined on a per bedroom basis rather than the full cost of the rental property. In addition, FF updated its methodology for determining the aggregate incremental cost to reflect the fact that the rented property was used exclusively by Dr. Breitfeld. The “aggregate incremental cost” reflects the amount paid on a monthly basis to a third-party leasing agency. For Mr. Jia, this amount represents the incremental cost of his use of a company car provided to him during 2021. (5) The amount included in the “Bonus” column for Dr. Breitfeld for 2021 represents the portion of the signing and retention bonus ($1,096,667) granted to Dr. Breitfeld that vested during 2021. The remaining portion of the signing and retention bonus vests based on Dr. Breitfeld’s continued employment through August 2022. In addition, this amount includes the lump sum bonus equal to the amount by which his base salary was reduced pursuant to the Company’s Crowd Entrepreneurship Program (CEP), which was a voluntary salary reduction program adopted by the Company in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 crisis and which reduced salary was repaid through a combination of equity grants and a cash bonus. Please see “Employment Agreements, Offer Letters and Other Compensatory Agreement s” below for further information regarding the 2021 bonuses received by Dr. Breitfeld. (6) The amount included in the “Bonus” column for Mr. Mok for 2021 represents the portion of the signing and retention bonus ($1,000,000) granted to Mr. Mok that vested during 2021. The remaining portion of the bonus vests based on Mr. Mok’s continued employment through October 2023, as described in more detail below under “Employment Agreements, Offer Letters and Other Compensatory Agreements.” In addition, this amount includes the lump sum bonus equal to the amount by which his base salary was reduced pursuant to the CEP. (7) Mr. Jia was not a named executive officer in 2020. The amount included in the “Bonus” column for Mr. Jia for 2021 represents the lump sum bonus equal to the amount by which his base salary was reduced pursuant to the CEP.

Description of Retirement Plans FF maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan for the benefit of its full-time employees based in the United States, although none of the named executive officers participated in the plan during 2021. This 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employee contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer a portion of their eligible compensation, not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit, in the form of elective deferral contributions to this 401(k) plan. This 401(k) plan also has a “catch-up contribution” feature for employees aged 50 or older (including those who qualify as “highly compensated” employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. Currently, FF does not make any discretionary or matching employer contributions to the 401(k) plan. Participants are always vested in their contributions to the 401(k) plan. Dr. Breitfeld participates in the German Public Retirement Insurance System as required under German law. FF does not make any contributions to this retirement plan, but as noted above in the description of his employment agreement, FF will reimburse Dr. Breitfeld for his contributions to this retirement system, although no reimbursements were made with respect to 2021.

A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power”, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power”, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days.

Procedures with Respect to Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions Following the consummation of the Business Combination, FF’s Board of Directors adopted a policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of related person transactions. Under the policy, FF’s Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related person transactions. In the course of its review and approval of related party transactions, FF’s Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. In particular, FF’s policy requires FF’s Audit Committee to consider, among other factors it deems appropriate: • the related person’s relationship to FF and interest in the transaction; • the material facts of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of the transaction; • the impact on a director’s or a director nominee’s independence in the event the related person is a director or director nominee or an immediate family member of the director or director nominee; • the benefits to FF of the proposed transaction; • if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and • if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and • an assessment of whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally. The Audit Committee may only approve those transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, FF’s best interests and those of FF’s stockholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith. In addition, under FF’s code of business conduct and ethics, FF’s employees, officers, directors and director nominees have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services The Audit Committee approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit FF’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021 following the dismissal of Marcum LLP, effective August 13, 2021, following completion of Marcum’s review of the quarter ended June 30, 2021. PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy FF prior to the Business Combination. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to PwC for services rendered. Audit Fees . Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by PwC in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by PwC for professional services rendered for the audit of FF’s annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods, services provided in connection with the Business Combination and Form S-4, services provided in connection with registration statements, and other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $5,303 thousand. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at Audit Committee meetings. 180 Table of Contents Audit-Related Fees . Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. PwC did not provide services and we did not incur fees for consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards for the year ended December 31, 2021. Tax Fees . For the year ended December 31, 2021, fees for tax planning and advice totaled $440 thousand. All Other Fees . License fees for accounting research software totaling $6 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021. Pre-Approval Policy The Audit Committee has implemented a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services, including tax services, proposed to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor. Under the policy, the Audit Committee may approve engagements on a case-by-case basis or pre-approve engagements on a categorical basis pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy. The Audit Committee approved all services provided by PwC during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by PwC and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence.
