Material Changes

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The filing confirms the successful execution of the previously announced offering. Proceeds were raised through an underwriting agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Subordination Risk: The Notes rank junior to all Senior Indebtedness in right of payment and upon liquidation.
- Interest Rate Risk: Post-2030, interest payments will fluctuate based on the Three-Month Term SOFR benchmark.
- Redemption Risk: The Company retains the option to redeem the Notes at par starting October 1, 2030.
