<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are collaborating with our Pulse partners to evaluate the data and monitor the state of Internet access in the region. We make this analysis available
to our partners so they can leverage the data to amplify voices demanding the restoration of Internet connectivity. Critical Internet infrastructure plays a key role in keeping people connected during crises, providing access to crucial information and support,
and helping people stay in contact with loved ones across borders. Internet infrastructure should be protected during times of conflict.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
