In addition, as of December 31, 2024, Campbell provided us with approximately 115 hourly employees on a full-time basis at one of the facilities that we lease from Campbell.

Our labor contracts expire at various times between 2025 and 2027. As of December 31, 2024, contracts covering approximately 11 percent of our hourly employees in the United States and Canada will expire during 2025. We expect no significant changes in our relations with these unions.
