4. Party-in-Interest Transactions

Transactions in shares of the Company’s common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions under the provisions of ERISA. During the Plan year ended December 31, 2024, the Plan purchased or received approximately $5,670,000 and sold or distributed approximately $16,493,000 of the Company’s common stock.

Certain Plan assets are invested in funds managed by the trustee. Consequently, transactions with the trustee qualify as party-in-interest transactions for which a statutory exemption exists.

Qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code means the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended. The Plan’s management believes that the Plan is being operated in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Code and therefore believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. The Company has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plan’s operations in compliance with the Code.

U.S. GAAP requires plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan.

The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan may be subjected to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for
