The Company is subject to numerous global privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, cyber resilience, and AI laws and regulations, which are continuing to change in ways that impose increasingly complex and costly compliance obligations on us and that have had, and are expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our operations. Failure to comply with applicable data protection laws, as well as new and evolving laws and regulations in these areas areas, could result in significant penalties, damage to our reputation, and loss of business. Additionally, a breach of applicable data protection laws may result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease or change our data processing activities, enforcement notices, assessment notices (for a compulsory audit) and/or civil claims (including class actions). We have incurred, and will continue to incur, costs to comply with these new evolving laws and regulations. There are also several additional laws being considered by state legislatures, the U.S. Congress, and governments around the world. As a result, we expect that a more substantial compliance effort to comply with varying regimes in different jurisdictions will continue to be necessary in the future, which has the potential to further increase the cost and complexity of our business. Moreover, privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, cyber resilience, and AI laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and may impose inconsistent or conflicting requirements. Complying with varying jurisdictional requirements could increase the costs and complexity of compliance and associated recordkeeping costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business and to incur additional costs. Data localization requirements in evolving privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, cyber resilience, and AI laws could also increase the cost and alter the approach to housing data around the world. In addition, our businesses Since we are increasingly subject to laws and regulations relating to digital transformation, surveillance, encryption, and data onshoring in the jurisdictions in which we operate. For example, under DORA, E.U. regulators are increasingly seeking to mitigate cyber threats and enhance digital resilience within the financial system through new regulations targeting the provision of critical third-party technology services. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to change our technology for information security, operational infrastructure, policies, and procedures, which could be time-consuming and costly and may result in additional regulatory burdens for the Company. Furthermore, compliance with these laws and regulations may indirectly impact us in circumstances where we act as a third-party service provider to clients, who are themselves subject to these laws and regulations and who will expect us to take appropriate steps to support them in achieving compliance. supervision

When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, the Company bases decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals.
