| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |

On March 9, 2026, KILH effected a pro-rata distribution in-kind of all of its 1,811,764 Common Shares (the "Distribution"). As a result, each of Bradford Luke Ledbetter 2006 Grantor Trust No. 2 and Shari Ann Ledbetter Irrevocable 2019 Trust received 452,941 Common Shares, representing each of its 25% interest in KILH, and Terry Lee Ledbetter and Reta Laurie Ledbetter 2000 Revocable Trust, which now files Schedule 13D separately, received 905,882 Common Shares, representing its 50% interest in KILH. As a result of the Distribution, KILH no longer beneficially owns any Common Shares, and accordingly is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under Section 13(d) of the Act. The Distribution reflected a change in form of beneficial ownership, only, for each of the Reporting Persons, each of whom had previously reported their indirect beneficial ownership in the Common Shares representing their pro-rata ownership interests in KILH.
Bradford Luke Ledbetter beneficially owns Common Shares directly and through his role as trustee of each of Bradford Luke Ledbetter 2006 Grantor Trust No. 2 and Shari Ann Ledbetter Irrevocable 2019 Trust.
On March 18, 2026, Bradford Luke Ledbetter received an aggregate 145,788 restricted Common Shares in two separate awards: (1) 48,596 restricted Common Shares that vest in substantially equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant and (2) 97,192 restricted Common Shares that vest in substantially equal installments with the first installment vested on the date of grant and the remaining installments vesting on the first two anniversaries of the date of grant.
On March 18, 2026, in connection with the vesting of 32,398 restricted Common Shares, 12,749 Common Shares were withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations due upon settlement of such restricted Common Shares. |
