Item 1B - Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable. 28 Item 1C - Cybersecurity We have certain processes for assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks, which are built into our overall information technology function and are designed to help protect our information assets and operations from internal and external cyber threats, protect information from unauthorized access or attack, as well as secure our network and systems. Such processes include physical, procedural, and technical safeguards, tests on our systems, and routine review of our policies and procedures to identify risks and improve our practices. We engage certain external parties, including an information technology consultant, to enhance our cybersecurity oversight. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors provides direct oversight over cybersecurity risk and provides periodic updates to the Board of Directors regarding such oversight. The Audit Committee receives periodic updates from management regarding cybersecurity matters and is notified between such updates regarding significant new cybersecurity threats or incidents. Our informational technology consultant leads the operational oversight of company-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, and processes and works across relevant departments to assess and help prepare us and our employees to address cybersecurity risks. Our informational technology consultant has over 34 years of experience working with companies in the information technology field. We are working with our information technology consultant to help improve our overall cybersecurity and plan to take any necessary steps to protect our information assets and operations from internal and external cyber threats in the event any such steps are recommended. We do not believe that there are currently any known risks from cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect us or our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
