 our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (a “Notice”) about the Internet availability of the proxy materials instead of a full paper copy of the proxy materials. The Notice, the Notice of Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement, accompanying form of proxy, and the Company’s 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), were first made available to shareholders on or about August 15, 2025. The Annual Report does not constitute “soliciting material” and is not to be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

If you received a notice regarding the internet availability of the proxy materials, you will find instructions about how to obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials in your notice.

English Rd. 5 th Floor, High Point, North Carolina 27262.
