The Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to grant pre-approval for audit services and permitted non-audit services, provided that any such approvals are presented to the full Audit Committee for ratification at its next meeting. The Audit Committee preapproved all audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP during fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024.
