#### Risk Factors
See “Risk Factors” on page S- 4 of this prospectus supplement and page 2 of the accompanying prospectus, as well as the risk factors set forth under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our common stock.

#### Accounting Treatment of Forward Sales
In the event that we enter into any Forward Contracts, we expect that before the issuance of shares of our common stock, if any, upon physical or net share settlement of any Forward Contract, the shares issuable upon settlement of that particular Forward Contract will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of our common stock used in calculating diluted earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of that particular Forward Contract over the number of shares of common stock that could

be purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price during the relevant period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the relevant reporting period).

Consequently, before physical or net share settlement of a particular Forward Contract and subject to the occurrence of certain events, we anticipate there will be no dilutive effect on our earnings per share except during periods when the average market price of our common stock is above the applicable adjusted forward sale price under that particular Forward Contract, subject to increase or decrease based on an overnight interest rate, less a spread, and subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends on our common stock during the term of that particular Forward Contract. However, if we physically or net share settle a particular Forward Contract, the delivery of shares of our common stock would result in an increase in the number of shares outstanding and dilution to our earnings per share.

#### Dividend Policy
We have historically paid, and expect to continue to pay, a regular quarterly cash dividend, but the timing and amount of future dividends is subject to the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
