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, internal networks and information.
We have aligned our cybersecurity risk management program with recognized security frameworks such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and ISO standards. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications or requirements, only that we use these frameworks as a guide to help us identify, assess and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.
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;
• the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes;
• cybersecurity awareness training of our employees;
• an information security event response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity events;
• an information security event response team (the "Response Team") principally responsible for managing our response to cybersecurity events; and
• a third-party risk management process for key IT vendors based on our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile.
During 2026, we did not identify any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity events, that materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition. However, we face ongoing and increasing cybersecurity risks, including from bad actors that are becoming more sophisticated and effective over time, and if realized, these risks are reasonably likely to materially affect us. Additional information on the cybersecurity risks we face is discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors."
Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Cybersecurity and Technology Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Cybersecurity
Committee") oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Cybersecurity Committee oversees management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.
The Cybersecurity Committee receives regular reports from our Chief Information Officer (" CIO ") regarding any significant cybersecurity events, as well as any events with lesser impact potential. The CIO periodically reports to the Board of Directors regarding cybersecurity risks and our cybersecurity risk management program. Board members periodically receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our CIO or external experts as part of the Board of Directors' continuing education on topics that impact public companies .
Our CIO, who is a member of our management team, is primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our CIO has over two decades of IT experience, including in applications, infrastructure, development, security and governance, and has presented as a featured speaker at numerous IT and security conferences. Our management team, including our CIO, has overall responsibility for our corporate cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. The Response Team, which includes our CIO and other members of our management team, has primary responsibility for assessing and managing our response to cybersecurity events.
Our management team takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate and remediate cybersecurity risks and events 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; tabletop training exercises; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.
