Lapidus Governance

---

Lapidus, Inc. operates with a governance framework designed to support long-term stewardship, responsible system ownership, and disciplined operational oversight. Governance practices are structured to align decision-making authority with accountability, transparency, and risk management.

Lapidus provides centralized governance across:

• Corporate strategy and capital allocation  
• Intellectual property ownership and protection  
• Security, privacy, and compliance standards  
• Risk assessment and operational controls  

Subsidiaries and operating platforms are expected to align with Lapidus governance principles while maintaining compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

Lapidus applies a risk-aware operating model intended to identify, assess, and manage material risks across technical, operational, legal, and financial domains.Risk management practices may include:

• Periodic review of platform architecture and dependencies  
• Access controls and segregation of responsibilities  
• Oversight of data handling, security posture, and incident response readiness  
• Vendor and third-party risk consideration where applicable  

Controls are designed to evolve as systems scale and regulatory environments change.

Lapidus establishes baseline expectations for data protection, privacy, and user control across its platforms. Subsidiaries are responsible for implementing privacy practices consistent with applicable laws and their published policies.Lapidus does not direct or access end-user data except where required for legal, operational, or contractual purposes.

• Compliance with applicable laws and regulations  
• Respect for user rights and data ownership
