CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Governance best PRACTICES

We maintain several corporate governance best practices, which are designed to promote actions that benefit our stockholders and create a framework for our decision-making.

role of The board

The Board of Directors is elected by the stockholders to oversee their interests in the long-term health, financial strength, and overall success of our business. The Board serves as the ultimate decision-making body of our Company, except for those matters reserved for or shared with our stockholders. The Board oversees our governance practices, the proper safeguarding of our assets, the maintenance of appropriate financial and other internal controls, and our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board selects our Chief Executive Officers and oversees the members of senior management, who are charged by the Board with conducting the business of our Company.

Key Responsibilities of the Board
Oversight of Business Strategy		Oversight of Risk		Oversight of Succession Planning
	The Board oversees and monitors strategic planning.		The Board oversees risk management.		The Board oversees management succession planning.
	Business strategy is a key focus at the Board level and embedded in the work of Board committees.		Board committees, which meet regularly and report back to the full Board, play significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function.		The Compensation Committee, which meets regularly and reports back to the full Board, has primary responsibility for developing succession plans for the CEO position and other key positions.
	Company management is charged with executing our business strategy and provides regular performance updates to the Board.		Company management is charged with managing risk through robust internal processes and effective internal controls.		The Co-CEOs are charged with preparing, and reviewing with the Compensation Committee, talent development plans for senior executives and their potential successors.

board Oversight OF BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Board of Directors oversees our strategic direction and business activities. Throughout the year, the Board and management discuss our short and long-term business strategy. As part of our long-term strategy, management typically formulates three-year financial targets against which performance is reviewed by the Board.

With respect to be voted onour short-term strategy, at the Annual Meetingbeginning of each year, our management presents to the Board a proposed annual business plan for the year and receives input from the Board and a final annual business plan is approved by the Board. At each subsequent regular Board meeting, the Board reviews our operating and financial performance relative to the annual business plan.

board role in Risk Oversight

Risk is inherent with every business. We face a number of risks, including financial (accounting, credit, interest rate, liquidity, and tax), operational, political, strategic, regulatory, compliance, legal, cybersecurity, competitive, and reputational risks.

Our management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks faced by us, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board ensures that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board oversees risks through the establishment of policies and procedures that are designed to guide daily operations in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and risks acceptable to us. Our Co-Chief Executive Officers, as members of the Board, attend the Board meetings and discuss with the full Board the strategies and risks facing our Company.

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board administers this oversight function directly, with support from its three standing committees (the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), each of which addresses risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In addition, with respect to other risks that arise from time to time, the Board oversees those as well.

SELECTED AREAS OF BOARD RISK OVERSIGHT

CYBERSECURITY: Our Audit Committee, comprised fully of independent directors, is responsible for oversight of our (i) information security policies, including periodic assessment of risk of information security breach, training program, significant threat changes and vulnerabilities and monitoring metrics and (ii) effectiveness of information security policy implementation. Members of management meet with the Audit Committee on a regular basis to review and discuss risk exposure related to our IT systems and data privacy. The purpose of these management updates is to inform the Audit Committee of potential risks related to our IT systems and data privacy, as well as any relevant mitigation or remediation tactics being implemented.

Since September 2022, we have engaged a seasoned cyber consultant from the global cybersecurity risk firm, Kroll, LLC, to provide CISO-level advisory services to assist our technology teams, business leadership and Board of Directors with guidance and direction as we continue to strengthen our security systems and improve our cyber readiness, as well as to provide insight and intelligence on existing and emerging threat landscapes. The scope of service includes reviewing our current information security policies, past and current security reports, cybersecurity program, and staffing models to assess our ability to prevent and respond to cyberattack incidents and mitigate any impacts they may have. In addition, we have retained special data security legal counsel at a leading U.S. law firm whose practice focuses on data breach response and security compliance issues. This legal counsel is specialized in investigating and responding to an event compromising information and systems security, working closely with client resources, third-party forensic consulting experts and law enforcement to identify the nature and scope of a compromise. We also have retained special data privacy legal counsel to assist us in our compliance with the data privacy laws in the various jurisdictions in which we operate our business.

In the past three years, we have not included in this Proxy Statement?

We currentlyexperienced any material computer data security breaches as a result of a compromise of our information systems and we are not aware and have not had a significant cybersecurity breach or attack that had a material impact on our business or operating results to date. Maintaining a robust information security system is an ongoing priority for us and we plan to continue to identify and evaluate new, emerging risks to data protection and cybersecurity both within our Company and through our engagement of any businessthird-party service providers like Kroll.

HUMAN CAPITAL AND CULTURE:The Board is actively engaged in overseeing our people and culture strategy. The Compensation Committee reviews and reports back to the Board on a broad range of human capital management topics, including talent management; leadership development; retention; culture; employee engagement; employee education and training; diversity, equity and inclusion; and equality and fairness.

ESG:The Board is ultimately responsible for oversight of our ESG initiatives. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has been delegated responsibility for ESG oversight and approves our ESG related policy statements and our ESG report. In 2023, we published an updated ESG report and intend to do so again in 2024. The Compensation Committee has oversight of human capital management, as well as our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The Audit Committee has oversight over general compliance with laws, applicable laws, including SEC and those affecting ESG issues, as well as risk management and climate-related and sustainability risks. In carrying out its responsibilities for ESG oversight, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee coordinates with the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee on ESG-related subjects.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Co-Chief Executive Officers provide an annual succession planning report to the Compensation Committee, which summarizes the overall composition of our senior leadership team, including their professional qualifications, tenure, and work experience. The report also identifies internal members of the management team who are viewed as potential successors to a variety of senior leadership roles. Succession planning is also regularly discussed in executive sessions of the Board of Directors. Our directors become familiar with theirinternal potential successors for key leadership positions through various means, including the annual succession planning report and Board of Directors and committee meetings, and less formal interactions throughout the course of the year.

Board Leadership Structure

Our governance framework provides the Board with the flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. Our current leadership structure is comprised of a combined Chairman of the Board and Co-CEO, a presiding independent director, Board committees led by independent directors, and active engagement by all directors. The Board believes that this structure provides an effective balance between strong Company leadership and appropriate safeguards and oversight by our independent directors. In making determinations about the leadership structure, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business, what is in the best judgment.
