 Uncertainties
The Plan provides various investment securities options to its participants. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market volatility and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

#### Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820 are described as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities) that the Plan can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets

• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means

Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at fair value. The inputs or methodology to value securities are not necessarily an indication of risk associated with investing in those securities, and there have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Valuation technologies maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

• Common stocks are valued at the closing price reported in the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

• Mutual funds are valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-ended mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the
