Audit Committee Pre-Approval Process
The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation, retaining, and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established a process regarding pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.
Requests are submitted to the Audit Committee in one of the following ways:

The request may be made with respect to either specific services or a type of service for predictable or recurring services. All of the fees paid by us to KPMG LLP for services for 2025 and 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or by management pursuant to delegation from the Audit Committee.
