Footnotes from the filing

This Form 4 is filed late due to administrative delays in regaining EDGAR access following the EDGAR Next transition. Mr. Smith previously held a CIK from 2021 but was not subject to Section 16 reporting requirements during the 2025 mandatory enrollment period and consequently his legacy account credentials were deactivated by the Commission. An Amended Form ID was submitted on April 8, 2026 and access was granted on April 21, 2026. This report is being filed immediately following receipt of such access.
Restricted Stock Awards vest in 3 equal installments on each of July 11, 2027, 2028 and 2029.
