Item 1C. Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated with our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes the following key elements: risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, services, and our broader enterprise information technology (“IT”) environment; the use of external cybersecurity service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes and internal IT and risk management professionals principally responsible for directing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security processes, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; cybersecurity awareness training of employees with access to our IT systems; a cybersecurity incident response plan to respond to cybersecurity incidents; and a third-party risk management process for service providers. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, consolidated financial position, or results of operations. We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, consolidated financial position, or results of operations. See Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Business. Cybersecurity Governance Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) considers cybersecurity risk as critical to the enterprise and manages the cybersecurity risk oversight function through the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees management s design, implementation and enforcement of our cybersecurity risk management program. Our Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) periodically reports to the Audit Committee and leads the Company s overall cybersecurity function. The Audit Committee receives regular reports from our CRO on our cybersecurity risks, including briefings on our cyber risk management program. A potentially material cybersecurity incident would be immediately reported to the Audit Committee and management would continue to brief the Audit Committee on management’s response to the cybersecurity incident. Audit Committee members also receive periodic presentations on cybersecurity topics from our CRO, supported by our information technology staff, or external experts as part of the Board s continuing education on topics that may affect public companies. Our CRO supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which include briefings from internal personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external cybersecurity service providers; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment. 36
