The Plan holds a portfolio of synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). These contracts meet the fully benefit-responsive investment contract criteria and therefore are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measure of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because this is the amount received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents contributions made under each contract, plus earnings, less participant’s withdrawals and administrative expenses. The GICs had a contract value of approximately $368.3 million and $394.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Plan invests in investment contracts through the Invesco Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund invests primarily in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts in a wrapper contract structure (also known as synthetic GICs). In a wrapper contract structure, the wrapper contracts are issued by insurance companies or banks and the underlying investments are high quality fixed income securities or investment funds held in trust for plan participants. The wrapper contracts amortize the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed income investments, typically over the expected duration of the investments through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate on each contract which is reset on a monthly basis. The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. An interest crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.
The key factors that influence future interest crediting rates for a wrapper contract include: the level of market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant activity into/out of the wrapper contract, the investment returns generated by the fixed income investments that back the wrapper contract, and the duration of the underlying investments backing the wrapper contract.

Certain employer initiated events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. These events include, but are not limited to, full or partial termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, an employer election to withdraw from the contract to switch to a different investment provider, an employer’s bankruptcy, layoffs, corporate spin-offs, mergers, divestitures, or other workforce restructurings, or if the terms of a successor plan do not meet the contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a replacement contract with identical terms. The Plan Administrator believes that no events are probable of occurring that might limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value.

In addition, certain events allow the issuer to terminate the contracts with the Plan and settle at an amount different from the contract value. These events may be different under each contract and include, but are not limited to, loss of the Plan’s qualified status, an uncured material breach of responsibility, or material adverse changes to the provisions of the Plan.
