The filing also discloses $1.51 billion in fiscal 2025 sales and approximately 6,400 employees as of July 31, 2025, which provide explicit scale context for the payout.

The business mechanism is straightforward: the dividend is a direct cash return to shareholders and the re-election secures board continuity. Dependencies and risks are explicit and limited in scope: the announcement does not state changes to capital allocation policy or extraordinary items that would materially alter future cash flows. Concrete items to watch in the near term are the January 9, 2026 record date and the January 30, 2026 payment date, plus any subsequent disclosures on dividend policy or material changes to fiscal performance in upcoming filings.
