TABLE OF CONTENTS Other Information

Other Some broker, bank and other nominee record holders of our common stock may be participating in the practice of “householding.” This means that only one copy of our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders and this proxy statement will be sent to shareholders who share the same last name and address. Householding is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and to save printing and postage costs. If you receive a household mailing this year and would like to receive additional copies of our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders or this proxy statement, please submit your request in writing to the address set forth below. Our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders (which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K and financial statements) is available to shareholders of record as of March 18, 2025, together with this proxy statement.

The Board knows of no other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other business properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the proxies will vote on that business in accordance with their best judgment. By Order of the Board of Directors, Kenneth E. Neikirk Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
