The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has released the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting framework 2.0 (“Pillar Two”) to introduce a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2024, we have no recorded effects for Pillar Two due to our operational jurisdiction being wholly domestic. The United States has not yet enacted legislation to adopt Pillar Two. We will continue to monitor the impact of this legislation going forward.
