The Plan made its final ESOP loan repayments in December 2019. Prior to repayment, these ESOP loans were secured by pledges of the purchased Company stock. The ESOP Trustee held the purchased shares (also referred to as leveraged shares) in a designated ESOP Fund, along with some cash held in short-term investments. As ESOP loan repayments were made, the ESOP Trustee released these shares. The Plan could use these released shares to fund Company Matching Contributions and RPCs, which were then allocated to eligible participants’ ESOP accounts. </span></div><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:24.75pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">After the final ESOP loan repayments, the same general rules continue to apply to the participants' ESOP accounts.

However, amounts may not be transferred from any of the other investment funds into the ESOP Fund.

Plan, as restated effective January 1, 2016, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Company believes that the Plan currently is designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and therefore, the Plan qualifies under Sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Code and the related Trust is tax exempt as of April 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are no audits for any tax periods in progress.</span></div> Plan TerminationAlthough it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
