1. F1. On May 28, 2026, the reporting person and his spouse withdrew 37,856 shares of common stock of the Issuer from a grantor retained annuity trust established for the benefit of himself and his two adult children. In exchange for the shares, the reporting person contributed to the trust an amount of cash equal to the value of the shares as determined based on the average of the high and low trading prices of the Issuer's common stock as reported on May 28, 2026. The withdrawal of shares from the trust resulted in a decrease in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owns indirectly through the trust and a corresponding increase in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owns directly. The reporting person believes that this withdrawal of shares from the trust constitutes a change in form of beneficial ownership of the shares, exempted by Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

grantor retained annuity trust financial

"withdrew 37,856 shares of common stock of the Issuer from a grantor retained annuity trust established for the benefit of himself and his two adult children"

A grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) is an estate-planning tool where the person who creates the trust transfers assets into it but receives fixed cash payments (an annuity) from the trust for a set number of years; whatever remains after that term passes to designated beneficiaries. It matters to investors because it can shift future appreciation of assets out of the creator’s taxable estate—like putting an asset into a timed vending machine that pays you fixed amounts while any extra value that grows inside the machine goes to heirs with reduced gift or estate tax consequences.

beneficial ownership financial

"resulted in a decrease in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owns indirectly through the trust and a corresponding increase"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
