Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Governance Updates
- Director Departures: Frederick D. DiSanto and Stephen E. Paul informed the Board of their intention to step down effective May 15, 2025. Their resignations are not the result of any dispute with the Corporation. Consequently, the Board size will be reduced from ten to eight directors.
- Committee Changes: Mr. DiSanto will step down from the Finance and Investment Committee, while Mr. Paul will step down from the Compensation and Finance and Investment Committees.
- Incentive Plan Amendment: Shareholders approved an amendment to the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, increasing the number of shares available for delivery by 500,000 to address insufficient share availability.
