Key Details

• Filing date: September 17, 2026 (Form 8‑K, Item 8.01: Other Events).
• Press release announcing the dividend furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.
• Report signed by Mark J. Ruggiero, Chief Financial Officer, on September 17, 2026.
• The Form 8‑K itself does not state the dividend amount, record date, or payment date; those details are expected in the referenced press release.

Why It Matters
A declared quarterly dividend is a direct cash-return policy that matters to income-focused shareholders and can signal how management is allocating capital. Because the 8‑K references a press release for the declaration, investors should review Exhibit 99.1 for the dividend amount, record and payment dates, and check recent earnings or capital position disclosures to understand sustainability and context.
