### Footnotes:

(1) The reporting person inadvertently failed to report this bona fide gift within the time period required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The gift is being reported in this Form 4 as part of the reporting person's final Section 16 filing following retirement.

(2) On December 1, 2023, the Company granted 716 restricted share units vesting in equal one-third installments over three years. Upon the reporting person's retirement, all unvested restricted share units accelerated and vested on April 16, 2026.   71 of the restricted share units were withheld to cover withholding taxes due upon vesting.

(3) On December 20, 2024, the Company granted 641 restricted share units vesting in equal one-third installments over three years. Upon the reporting person's retirement, all unvested restricted share units accelerated and vested on April 16, 2026.   127 of the restricted share units were withheld to cover withholding taxes due upon vesting.

(4) The change in holdings reflects an internal, non-cash reallocation within the reporting person's exempt company savings plan from a lower-priced fund to a higher-priced fund; no securities were sold.

(6) Expiration date of stock options did not change upon retirement of the reporting person from the Company.
