• Announcement format: Company furnished a press release as Exhibit 99.1 announcing the quarterly common stock dividend.
• Signature: Report signed by Mark J. Ruggiero, CFO, on June 18, 2026.

Why It Matters A declared quarterly dividend is directly relevant to income-focused and total-return investors because it signals the company’s intent to return cash to shareholders. Because this 8-K furnishes a press release but does not specify the dividend amount or timing in the filing text, investors should review the Exhibit 99.1 press release or company communications for the exact dividend rate, record and payment dates to assess income impact and yield.
