As of the end of the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, an internal evaluation was conducted under the supervision of and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Registrant files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the required time periods; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
