effective as of November 25, 2025, covering the Company, and its subsidiaries (the "Bond"). The Bond was received by the Company on November 12, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A copy of the resolutions adopted by written consent of the Board of Directors dated November 25, 2025, in
