| Tax status and federal income taxes | Tax status and federal income taxes On May 12, 2017, the Plan received a favorable tax determination letter from the IRS confirming its tax qualified status under Code Section 401(a) of the Code, and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan is required to operate in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code to maintain its qualified status. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is operating in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Plan to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize an income tax liability if the Plan has taken uncertain tax positions that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by applicable taxing authorities. Management of the Plan has analyzed tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability or that would require disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to audits by the taxing authorities; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any tax period. Participants who are not currently receiving a distribution under the Plan do not pay any U.S. federal income tax on Contributing Employer contributions or income earned by the Trust. When a Participant, or his or her beneficiary or estate, receives a distribution under the Plan, the distribution likely results in tax consequences. The tax treatment of any distribution from the Trust depends on individual circumstances.
