Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), had evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of such period because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements as originally filed on Form 10-K on February 26, 2024, and as included in the Amendment, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position at December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2023. There were no restatements to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented in the Original Form 10-K or for any previously released financial results.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that the internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013

framework). Based on the assessment by management, it was determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

• We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for the Company’s business combination with Transporeon. This included lack of appropriate oversight of third-party valuation specialists and insufficient design and operating effectiveness of management review controls, including controls over the completeness and accuracy of certain assumptions used in the valuation of intangible assets.

• We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain ITGCs for certain business systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes. Specifically, the Company did not design sufficient controls to (i) manage user access to systems, (ii) ensure that program changes made to systems were authorized and approved, or (iii) identify and resolve system issues impacting the financial reporting process. Certain business process controls that are dependent on the ineffective ITGCs, or that rely on data produced from systems impacted by the ineffective ITGCs, could have been adversely impacted, and were also deemed ineffective.

• With respect to certain ITGCs and other controls for systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes, there was undue reliance on controls over IT interfaces to transfer data between the order processing system and (i) billing system; (ii) financial reporting system; or (iii) revenue calculation system impacting the majority of revenue without effectively designed controls to ensure the completeness and accuracy of data transferred between the different systems. Certain business process controls that rely on data transferred between the different systems could have been adversely impacted and were also deemed ineffective.

• We did not design and maintain effective controls over the evaluation of standalone selling prices of performance obligations utilized in accounting for revenue, including review controls over the establishment and subsequent changes to standard pricing and discounting.

We have excluded the businesses acquired in 2023 from our evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting. The excluded businesses constituted approximately 3% of both tangible assets and revenue as of and for the year ended December 29, 2023.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at the end of 2023 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses

Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, is currently taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses and is implementing additional processes and controls to address the underlying causes associated with the material weaknesses described above. These efforts include:

• We have finalized the design of review controls over third-party valuation specialists to add greater levels of precision to detect and prevent potential misstatements, including the establishment of process and controls to evaluate adequate review and evidence used in the valuation of acquired intangible assets. The Company had an acquisition with a purchase price of $26 million in the second quarter of 2024 for which the Company successfully tested the operating effectiveness of the remediated design of applicable business combination controls.

• We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of controls of certain ITGCs for business systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes.

• We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of certain ITGCs and other controls for systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes, specifically on the IT interfaces that transfer data between the order processing system and (i) billing system; (ii) financial reporting system; or (iii) revenue calculation system impacting the majority of revenue.

• We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of controls over the evaluation of standalone selling prices of performance obligations utilized in accounting for revenue, including review controls over pricing and discounting.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We believe the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize, and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures.

The process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. As we continue to

evaluate and take actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional actions to address control deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In addition to the identified material weaknesses noted above, we are implementing a customer relationship management tool across our businesses as a strategic initiative that will replace many legacy systems and that could materially affect our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) under the Exchange Act). Other than as described above, there have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the period for which this report relates.
