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 leverages the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") cybersecurity framework, which organizes cybersecurity risks into six categories: govern, identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. 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 the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include, but are not limited to, the following: - risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems and information, including ongoing vulnerability analysis assessments and penetration testing conducted by a third party; - a security team principally responsible for managing (i) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (ii) our security controls, and (iii) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes; - semi-annual cybersecurity awareness training for all employees including senior management; - periodic internal assessments of our cybersecurity controls, processes and infrastructure; - a cybersecurity incident response plan, which is exercised annually with senior management, that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and - a third-party risk management process for critical service providers based on each provider's respective risk profile. 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, results of operations, or financial condition. We have in the past experienced adverse events that have not resulted, and are not expected to result, in a material impact on the Company's business 22 operations or financial results. We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See "Risk Factors - We have experienced cybersecurity attacks and could in the future be subject to significant disruption, data loss or other security incidents or breaches". Cybersecurity Governance and Oversight Our Board of Directors ("Board") considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to its Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. Our Audit Committee oversees management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. Our Audit Committee receives quarterly briefings from our Chief Information Security Officer regarding the emerging cybersecurity threat and risk landscape as well as our cybersecurity risk management program and related readiness, resiliency, and response efforts. In addition, management will update the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding significant cybersecurity incidents. Our Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The Board also receives briefings from management on our cybersecurity risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Chief Information Security Officer, internal security staff or external experts as part of the Board's continuing education on topics that impact public companies. We have a Cyber Risk Committee ("Cyber Committee") which reviews and reports on cybersecurity risks and related issues. Chaired by the Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"). The Cyber Committee is comprised of senior management from various business units within the Company and meets at least quarterly to review the status of the Company's overall cybersecurity risk management program, as well as controls and procedures and to stay up to date regarding relevant legislative, regulatory, and technical developments. The Cyber Committee is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The Cyber Committee oversees our cybersecurity risk management program in conjunction with our CISO. The day-to-day management of cybersecurity is the responsibility of our Vice President, CISO, who reports directly to the Chief Innovation and Transformation Officer. Our CISO has over 25 years of experience in information technology and cybersecurity and holds the following credentials: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO). Our CISO supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. The Cyber Committee is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of key 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 . We utilize a variety of administrative, technical and physical safeguards that take into account the nature of our IT environment, information assets and cybersecurity risks posed by both internal and external threats. We have incorporated cybersecurity coverage in our insurance policies, and our goal is to keep our data and systems, as well as our employees, safe from cybersecurity threats. The Company conducts mandatory semi-annual employee cybersecurity awareness training and internal phishing exercises for employees, supplemented by regular communications to employees on the escalation process for reporting incidents, vulnerabilities, or suspicious activities to the appropriate information technology stakeholders. When security issues arise, the Company conducts a prompt investigation and initiates response protocols and other measures to protect the Company and its valued employees and key stakeholders. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not experience any cybersecurity incidents that had a material impact on the Company's business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, the Company did not experience any known material third-party information security breaches during the year ended December 31, 2025.
