What is our policy regarding pre-approval of audit and non-audit services performed by Deloitte?
All services performed by Deloitte, whether audit or non-audit services, must be pre-approved by us or a
designated member of the Audit and Finance Committee, whose decisions must be reported to us at our next
meeting. Pre-approval must be obtained before Deloitte performs the services but cannot be obtained more than
one year before performance begins. Approval can be for general classes of permitted services such as annual
audit services or tax consulting services. The permitted services, the dates of the engagement and the estimated
fees for such services, must be approved by the Audit and Finance Committee in accordance with these
procedures before performance begins.
