Material Changes

- Expected 2024 Dividends: No more than $0.05 per share per quarter, assuming dividends continue.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management indicated a strategic shift in capital distribution policy. While the current quarter maintains the $0.10 rate, the Company explicitly stated that if quarterly dividends are paid in 2024, they are expected to be capped at $0.05 per share. This represents a potential 50% reduction in the quarterly payout compared to the current rate.
