Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
The filing details specific amendments to the SERP effective November 5, 2025:
- Early Retirement Reduction Factors: Revised the percentage of benefits payable for participants retiring before age 65. The scale now ranges from 50% at age 55 to 100% at age 65, with incremental increases for ages 56 through 64.
- Change of Control Provisions: Participants in the Executive Severance Plan terminated due to a "Qualifying Termination" during a "Change of Control Protection Period" are now deemed vested and eligible for Retirement Income under the SERP, overriding other provisions.
- Benefit Calculation Assumptions: For qualifying terminations during a change of control, retirement age is deemed to be the greater of the participant's actual age or 55. Pension Plan benefits are calculated as vested and early retirement eligible at that deemed age, with no additional credited service added.

The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on financial outlook, or discussion of general business risks.
