The Company does not expect to contribute to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in 2025. As of September 30, 2025, no contributions have been made; however, this decision is reviewed each quarter and is subject to change based upon market conditions.

Since 2003, the Company has not subsidized retiree medical insurance premiums. However, it continues to provide medical benefits and post-retirement medical benefits to a limited number of current and retired executives in accordance with the terms of their employment contracts.
