F4 On September 4, 2025, the reporting person withdrew 52,870 shares of Company common stock from a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT) established for the benefit of himself and his beneficiaries. In exchange for the shares, the reporting person contributed to the GRAT cash and securities with a value equal to the deemed value of the shares. The withdrawal of shares from the GRAT resulted in a decrease in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owns indirectly through the GRAT and a corresponding increase in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owned directly. The reporting person believes that his withdrawal of shares from the GRAT constitutes a change in form of beneficial ownership of the shares, exempted by Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
F5 Shares held in reporting person's account under the Company's Retirement Savings Plan. This plan uses unit accounting, and the number of shares that a participant is deemed to hold varies with the unit price of the Company pooled stock fund.
