Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) as of the end of the fiscal year
covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
