These investments are subject to risk conditions of the individual investments’ objectives, the stock market, interest rates, economic conditions, world affairs and, in the case of the Balchem Corporation common stock, the results of operations and other risks specific to Balchem Corporation. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

commercial mortgages, and private placement bonds. The GIF provides a specified rate of return for a specified period of time. Contract value represents contributions and reinvested income, less any withdrawals plus accrued interest, because these investments have fully benefit-responsive features. For example, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are no reserves against contract values for credit risk of contract issues or otherwise. There are no events that limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with Empower. The GIF does not have a maturity date and there are no instances that allow Empower to terminate the agreement (contract). The contract value of GIF was $21,021,495 and $20,760,598 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 21021495 20760598 PARTIES-IN-INTEREST<div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Plan held 240,757 and 235,822 shares of Balchem Corporation common stock, respectively, with a market value of $36,922,435 and $38,437,832 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
