Eligible participants obtain loans by filing a loan application with the Plan's recordkeeper and receiving all requisite approvals. Loan amounts are generally limited to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the individual participant's vested account balance, with certain regulatory restrictions. The minimum loan permitted is $1,000 and participants may only have two outstanding loans at any time. Each loan specifies a repayment period that cannot extend beyond five years. However, the five-year limit shall not apply to any loan used to acquire any dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be used as the principal residence of the participant (determined at the time the loan is made). Loans bear interest at the prime interest rate on the first business day of each calendar quarter plus 1 percent, as determined at the time of loan origination. Loans that transferred to the Plan due to acquisitions are based upon the terms of the plan agreement in effect at the time of loan origination. Repayments, including interest, are made through payroll deductions and are credited to the individual participant's account balance. Participant loans are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. For participant loans that are in default, the amount of the unpaid loan principal and interest due to the Plan will be treated as a deemed distribution.  Deemed distributions are reported as a taxable distribution and remain part of the participant’s account balance until a distributable event occurs (i.e., termination of employment).  </span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Administration</span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Plan is administered by Caterpillar Inc.

Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Master Trust holds fixed income fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, referred to as synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“synthetic GICs”), in which an investment contract is issued by an insurance company (Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Nationwide Life Insurance Company). The Plan measures the synthetic GICs at contract value in the Plan's Interest in the Master Trust in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. The synthetic GICs, which are designed to help preserve principal and provide a stable crediting rate of interest, are fully benefit-responsive and the issuers guarantee that qualified participant initiated withdrawals will be paid at contract value. The synthetic GICs are primarily backed by a portfolio of fixed income investments, which are effectively owned by the Plan. The assets underlying the synthetic GICs are maintained by a third party custodian, separate from the contract issuer's general assets. The synthetic GICs are obligated to provide an interest rate not less than zero. The Plan’s ability to receive amounts due in accordance with the contract is dependent on the issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations which may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments. These contracts provide that realized and unrealized gains and losses of the underlying assets are not reflected immediately in the assets of the fund, but rather are amortized, usually over the duration of the underlying assets, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate. The future interest crediting rate can be adjusted periodically and is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the market value and contract value of the covered investments over the duration of the covered investments at the time of computation. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risks of the contract issuers.</span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Employer initiated events, if material, may affect the underlying economics of the investment contracts. These events include plant closings, layoffs, plan termination, bankruptcy or reorganization, merger, early retirement incentive programs, tax disqualification of a trust or other events. The occurrence of one or more employer initiated events could limit the Plan's ability to transact at contract value with the issuers. Except for the employer initiated events above, the synthetic GICs do not permit the issuers to terminate the agreement at an amount different from contract value. As of December 31, 2025, the Company does not believe that the occurrence of an event that would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuers is probable.</span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Fair Value Measurements</span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally-developed market assumptions.
