Material Changes and Management Commentary
Management decided to terminate the buyback agreement early due to high market volatility. Continuing the program under the existing non-discretionary mechanics would have resulted in a significant incremental payout to the counterparty. The termination was executed immediately following the expiration of the blackout period associated with the annual earnings release on February 20, 2026. The Board of Directors will consider future buyback programs at a later date.
