Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

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. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards ( NIST ). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use NIST as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. 48 Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across our enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes: risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environment; a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls; cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors. We have not identified risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Cybersecurity Governance Our board of directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Audit Committee oversees management s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. Management regularly reports on our cybersecurity risks to the Audit Committee. In addition, management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as incidents with lesser impact potential. The Audit Committee reports to the full board of directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full board of directors also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Chief Technology Officer, internal security staff or external experts as part of the board of directors continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our management team, including our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Risk Management, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our Chief Technology Officer, Scott Cardenas, is responsible for all aspects of technology across the Company and has extensive experience in cybersecurity and technology, including 15 years of experience managing technology organizations. Before joining the Company in 2018, Mr. Cardenas was chief technology officer for Kiewit Corporation and chief technology officer for the City and County of Denver before being promoted to chief information officer. Mr. Cardenas received a B.S. in Computer Information Systems and Management from Metropolitan State University of Denver and a M.B.A. from the University of Denver. As Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Cardenas is a member of the Company s Risk Management Committee, a cross-functional committee that governs and oversees our cybersecurity risk management program, among other responsibilities and includes the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Head of Risk Management and Director of Internal Audit. Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include: briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the information technology environment. 49
