Item

1C. Cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

We

recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is

defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. Cybersecurity risks are managed across the Company and its subsidiaries and are integrated

into our overall enterprise risk management ("ERM") framework.

We

have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability

of our information systems, data, and critical business processes. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our broader

ERM program and shares common methodologies, reporting channels, and governance processes applicable to other legal, compliance, operational,

and financial risks.

Our

cybersecurity risk management program is informed by applicable laws and regulations and draws guidance from industry standards and best

practices, including frameworks published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST"). While we reference

these frameworks to inform our approach, this does not imply that we meet any particular technical standard, specification, or certification.

Key

elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include:

Risk

Identification and Assessment . Periodic risk assessments designed to identify and evaluate cybersecurity risks that could affect

our corporate information systems, cloud environments, data, third-party service providers, and business operations, including risks

informed by threat intelligence and industry-specific threat activity.

Policies

and Controls . Information security and cybersecurity policies that establish administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed

to protect systems and data, including access controls, monitoring, and incident response procedures.

Incident

Response . A cybersecurity incident response policy that outlines procedures for detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity

incidents, including escalation and internal reporting processes for incidents that may be significant or potentially material.

Third-Party

Risk Management . A vendor risk management process designed to identify and assess cybersecurity risks associated with third-party

service providers based on their criticality and risk profile, including contractual security requirements and ongoing monitoring, where

appropriate.

Training

and Awareness . Cybersecurity awareness training for employees and contractors with access to Company systems, intended to promote

awareness of cybersecurity risks and individual responsibilities.

Use

of External Experts . Engagement of external service providers, where appropriate, to assist with risk assessments, testing, monitoring,

and other aspects of our cybersecurity program.

Despite these efforts, cybersecurity threats continue

to evolve, and no security program can eliminate all risks. We have not identified any cybersecurity threats, including as a result of

any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business

strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For additional description of cybersecurity risks and potential related impacts

on the Company, refer to the risk factor captioned "Cybersecurity threats and hacking attacks could compromise our systems and data,

resulting in material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations." in Part I, Item 1A "Risk

Factors."

Cybersecurity

Governance

Our Board has oversight responsibility for the

management of risks facing the Company, including cybersecurity risks. The Board has delegated oversight of cybersecurity and information

technology risks to the audit committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee").

The

Audit Committee receives periodic reports from management regarding cybersecurity risks, the status of our cybersecurity program, and

significant developments. Management also provides updates to the Board or Audit Committee, as appropriate, regarding any cybersecurity

incidents that are considered significant or potentially material.

Management is responsible for the day-to-day operation

of our cybersecurity risk management program and for identifying, assessing, and managing material cybersecurity risks. Our cybersecurity

program is led by our Vice President, Global Corporate IT, who has responsibility for information security and cybersecurity risk management

across the organization and reports to executive management. Our Vice President, Global Corporate IT has over 13 years of experience in

IT, including 8 years in software development and more than 5 years in roles with direct responsibility for cybersecurity governance,

risk management, and compliance. He is supported by internal personnel and external cybersecurity service providers with experience in

cybersecurity governance, risk management, and incident response.

We

maintain a cross-functional incident response capability involving information technology, legal, finance, compliance, and communications

personnel, which is activated as necessary in the event of a cybersecurity incident. Management assesses the severity and potential impact

of cybersecurity incidents and escalates matters to executive management and the Board, as appropriate, including for materiality and

disclosure considerations. We consult with external advisors, including legal counsel, as appropriate.
