A shareholder proposal submitted after November 14, 2025, or which does not otherwise meet the requirements of the SEC, will not be included in the Corporation's Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting to be held in 2026, but may nevertheless be presented at the Annual Meeting. Under the Corporation's bylaws, to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting in 2026, a shareholder must have submitted such proposal in writing to the Chairman at the principal executive offices of the Corporation at least 120 days prior to the date of such meeting and the proposal must be, under law, an appropriate subject for shareholder action. Based upon a scheduled meeting date for the 2026 Annual Meeting of April 23, 2026, a proposal submitted pursuant to the Corporation's bylaws must be received at the principal executive offices no later than December 24, 2025.

In addition, under SEC Rule 14a-19, a shareholder intending to engage in a director election contest with respect to the Corporation's annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2026 must give the Corporation notice of its intent to solicit proxies by providing the names of its nominees and certain other information at least 60 calendar days before the anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting. This deadline is February 23, 2026.
