Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan. We design and assess our cybersecurity program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes: - risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment; - a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; 75 - a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and - a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Cybersecurity Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Audit Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Audit Committee receives regular reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. The Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity . The full Board also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Head of Information Technology, internal security staff or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our management team, including our Chief Legal Officer and Head of Operations and external IT consultants, is responsible for assessing and managing our mate rial risks from cybersecurity threats. Our Chief Legal Officer is a former federal prosecutor and deputy chief of cybercrime in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, as well as a former law firm partner conducting and overseeing investigations, prosecutions, and cases relating to cybercrime, hacking, trade secrets, large-scale identity theft, national security, data breaches, and related cybersecurity and data privacy matters. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team’s experience, in close cooperation with external IT consultants, includes significant experience of leading and managing IT infrastructure and security operations teams for various sized global companies across several different industries. Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.
