Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock owned directly by Parent, Merger Sub or their subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time or held in treasury of the Company (which will be automatically canceled at the Effective Time for no consideration) ("Cancelled Shares"), and (ii) shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Delaware law and has not effectively withdrawn of lost its rights to appraisal ("Dissenting Shares")) was automatically canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $42.15 (the "Merger Consideration"), payable to the holder thereof, without interest.

*Treatment of Company Compensatory Awards* 

Additionally, at the Effective Time and as a result of the Merger, each Company RSU Award, Company PSU Award and Company DSU Award (as defined below, and together, the "Company Compensatory Awards") were treated as follows (the "Compensatory Award Treatment"):

• each award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Company Common Stock (a "Company RSU Award") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically terminated at the Effective Time and converted into a contingent right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU Award at the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends or dividend equivalent rights owed with respect to such Company RSU Award, with such cash-based award subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company RSU Award (including time-based vesting conditions and terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment);

• each award of performance-based restricted stock units with respect to shares of Company Common Stock (a "Company PSU Award") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically terminated at the Effective Time and converted into a contingent right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company PSU Award, determined based on the achievement of the applicable performance goals at the actual level of performance of 164.9% for Company PSU Awards granted in 2024 and 185.9% for Company PSU Awards granted in 2025, as determined by the People and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") in its good faith and reasonable discretion as of March 2026 in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company PSU Award agreement, and (ii) the Merger Consideration, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends or dividend equivalent rights owed with respect to such Company PSU Award, which cash-based award (A) received by former employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who retired or terminated employment prior to the Effective Time became payable as of the Effective Time and will be paid by the Company or its applicable subsidiary no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Effective Time; and (B) received by any current employee or service provider of the Company or its subsidiaries was subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Company PSU Award other than performance-based vesting conditions (including terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment); provided, that, the time-based vesting condition applicable to such cash-based award is a three year time-vesting requirement with one-third of such award vesting on each December 31 that would occur during the three-year performance period applicable to the corresponding Company PSU Award (and any portion of the Company PSU Award that would have vested prior to the Closing Date based on this schedule became immediately vested as of the Closing Date); and

• each award of deferred stock units in respect of Company Common Stock (a "Company DSU") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically terminated at the Effective Time and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company DSU as of the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends or dividend equivalent rights owed with respect to such Company DSU, payable as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date.

Effective as of the Effective Time (i) no new Company Compensatory Awards will be granted pursuant to the Company's 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective May 17, 2018 and May 18, 2021, as further amended effective May 23, 2024 (the "Plan"), or the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (as amended, the "Director Plan" and, together with the Plan, the "PubCo Plans") and (ii) the PubCo Plans were terminated; provided, that Company Compensatory Awards that are subject to the Compensatory Award Treatment shall remain outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the applicable PubCo Plan (to the extent applicable notwithstanding such termination) and the applicable award agreement.

On the Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that a certificate of merger had been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for purposes of consummating the Merger. The Company requested that NYSE file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on Form 25 in order to effect the delisting of the Company Common Stock from NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

Upon effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file a Certification and Notice of Termination on Form 15 with the SEC to deregister the Company Common Stock and suspend the Company's reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by the corporation's certificate of incorporation or any amendments thereo and subject to Section 3 of Article VI hereof, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held by such stockholder.

Section 10. <u>Proxies</u>. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of stockholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the secretary or a person designated by the secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

Section 11. <u>Action by Written Consent</u>. Unless otherwise provided in the corporation's certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation's principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by reputable overnight courier service; provided, however, that no consent or consents delivered by certified or registered mail shall be deemed delivered until such consent or consents are actually received at the registered office. All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days after the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who

------

have not consented in writing. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof. Any copy, facsimile, electronic delivery or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile, electronic delivery or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

Such member shall be conclusively presumed to have assented to any action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless his or her written dissent to such action shall be filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall be forwarded by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.

The secretary, or an assistant secretary, shall have authority to affix the corporate seal to any instrument requiring it and when so affixed, it may be attested by his signature or by the signature of such assistant secretary. The board of directors may give general authority to any other officer to affix the seal of the corporation and to attest the affixing by his signature.

<u>ARTICLE V</u> 

<u>INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS</u> 

Section 1. <u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>. Subject to Section 5 of this Article V, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or while serving in such capacity is or was an officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation or for its benefit as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under and pursuant to any procedure specified in or pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, from and against any and all expenses, liabilities and losses (including without limitation attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. The board of directors shall take all such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to authorize the corporation to pay the indemnification required by these bylaws, including without limitation, to the extent necessary, making a good faith evaluation of the manner in which the claimant for indemnity acted and of the reasonable amount of indemnity due him or her, and making in good faith any other determination required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for such indemnification, or, in cases where the full board of directors may not make such determination under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, submitting the matter for determination in good faith by a committee of directors, independent legal counsel, the stockholders or such other persons or bodies as may make any such required determination. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not meet the standards required under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in order to be entitled or permitted to receive such indemnification. This right to indemnification shall be enforceable against the corporation as a contract right, and any person entitled to such indemnification shall also be entitled to reimbursement by the corporation of reasonable costs and expense, including attorneys' fees, incurred in obtaining such required indemnification or any advancement of expenses required by Section 2 of this Article V.

------

Section 2. <u>Advancement of Expenses</u>. Subject to Section 5 of this Article V, expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a current or former director or executive officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding with respect to which indemnification may be provided under Section 1 of this Article V above shall be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or executive officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) may be so paid or reimbursed upon such additional terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors in good faith deems reasonable and appropriate, consistent with its obligation to promptly pay or reimburse all such expenses actually and reasonably incurred. For purposes of this Section 2 of this Article V, "executive officer" has the meaning set forth in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act.

Section 3. <u>Nonexclusivity; Indemnification of Other Personnel</u>. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses are or at any time may be entitled under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the corporation's certificate of incorporation, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise except that to the extent that corporation's certificate of incorporation provides that indemnification or advancement of expenses is subject to these bylaws these bylaws shall govern. The provisions of this Article V shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification or advancement of expenses of any person who is not specified in Section 1 or 2 of this Article V, as applicable, but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, and the board of directors shall have authority to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to such other personnel as it determines is permitted or required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 4. <u>Certain Definitions</u>. For purposes of this Article V, (i) references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans, (ii) references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, (iii) references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries, and (iv) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

Section 5. <u>Limitation on Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses</u>. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, except for any required reimbursement of expenses in proceedings to enforce such person's rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses as provided in Section 1 of this Article V, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify, or advance expenses to, any person in connection with (i) a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors, or (ii) proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of any employment, severance, non-competition, compensation, or other plan or agreement with or of the corporation or any of its affiliates to which such person may be a party, or of which such person may be a beneficiary, or

------

(iii) any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against such person for payment or an accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, any similar successor statute, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "officer" when used in this Article V or in the corporation's certificate of incorporation does not include a person who serves or has served only as an assistant officer, and this Article V does not obligate the corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to persons who serve or have served only as assistant officers.

Section 6. <u>Insurance</u>. The board of directors may cause the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity, or arising out of such status, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability.

Section 7. <u>Additional Indemnification</u>. The board of directors may from time to time adopt further bylaws with respect to indemnification, may amend these bylaws and such bylaws to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, and may authorize additional indemnification by resolution, indemnification contracts or otherwise to the extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 8. <u>No Retroactive Repeal or Modification</u>. The right of any current or former director or officer to indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Article V is provided as a contract right in consideration of and as an inducement for such director's or officer's service as such, and shall fully vest at the time such director or officer first assumes his or her position with the corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions granting indemnification or advancement rights shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a current or former director or officer of the corporation with respect to any acts, omissions or status of such person occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

<u>ARTICLE VI</u> 

<u>CERTIFICATES OF STOCK</u> 

Section 1. <u>Form</u>. The board of directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. If the corporation elects to certificate its shares, every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by any 2 authorized officers of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such officer may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been

------

delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation.

Section 2. <u>Lost Certificates</u>. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 3. <u>Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings</u>. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 4. <u>Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent</u>. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of

------

directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 5. <u>Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes</u>. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 6. <u>Registered Stockholders</u>. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

Section 7. <u>Subscriptions for Stock</u>. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

<u>ARTICLE VII</u> 

<u>GENERAL PROVISIONS</u> 

Section 1. <u>Dividends</u>. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the corporation's certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the corporation's certificate of incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation.
