Item 1C. Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity Risk Management Strategy We have developed our cybersecurity risk management program ( cybersecurity framework ), including a cybersecurity incident response plan, based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework s (NIST CSF) principles: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, and our cybersecurity framework is intended to address current vulnerabilities and anticipate future cybersecurity threats and risks to our cyber ecosystem. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity framework is integrated into 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: assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT 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 process that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents and a risk evaluation of the service providers, suppliers, and vendors of critical systems during contracting. We have not identified risks from known 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. There can be no assurance, however, that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information. For more information, see the section titled Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Industry Our information technology systems, or those of any of our service providers, may fail or suffer security incidents and other disruptions, which could result in a material disruption of our development programs, compromise sensitive information related to our business or prevent us from accessing critical information, potentially exposing us to liability or otherwise adversely affecting our business. Cybersecurity Governance Our Board 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 Committee oversees management s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. 89 The Audit Committee receives periodic reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. The Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. The Audit Committee members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Director of Information Technology, or external experts as part of the Audit Committee s continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our management team, including our Director of Information Technology, has a combined 35 years of risk management experience and 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. The experience of our management team encompasses leadership, development, and support of cybersecurity strategies, along with the implementation of policies and procedures. Furthermore, they possess a track record of proactively monitoring cybersecurity threats and promptly responding to and remediating cyber attacks. Their adeptness in executing security controls has consistently yielded clean audit observations, showcasing their effectiveness in safeguarding against potential risks. 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 IT environment.
