Furthermore, during the financial years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and through October 13, 2025, Grant Thornton and the Company did not have any disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, had such disagreements or matters not been resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company's financial statements for such periods.
