On June 1,2026, the family partnership acquired 100,000 shares of the Company's 6.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") in a private placement. The Preferred Stock does not have a maturity date but will mandatorily convert into shares of the Company's Common Stock on the mandatory conversion date, approximately three years after the initial issue date. Each share of the Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, and will automatically convert on the mandatory conversion date into between 7.1806 shares (the "Minimum Conversion Rate") and 8.2576 shares (the "Maximum Conversion Rate") of the Company's Common Stock per share, depending on the Applicable Market Value of the common stock during the Settlement Period (each as defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock) [cont.]; [cont.] The conversion rates will be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. Prior to the mandatory conversion date, holders may elect to convert at any time at the Minimum Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment for any accumulated and unpaid dividends that have not been declared. The Preferred Stock may not be redeemed by the Company (other than in limited circumstances relating to HSR Act compliance). If a "Fundamental Change" occurs, holders will have the right to convert at an increased Fundamental Change Conversion Rate and to receive a Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount (each as defined in the Certificate of Designation) equal to the present value of all remaining scheduled dividend payments, discounted at 6.50% per annum.; The family partnership is a limited partnership that holds securities for the benefit of the Reporting Person and his adult children. The family partnership is managed by a general partner, which is a limited liability company that is indirectly controlled by the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the family partnership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
