On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)” into law. The OBBBA extends permanently, with modifications, certain individual, business and international tax provisions enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of calendar year 2025, as well as delivers additional tax relief for individuals and businesses. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements but does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
