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.
