• Fractional shares will be settled in cash using a per-share price of $177.32 (the average of the high and low share price on July 16, 2026). Combining the cash dividend and the stock dividend’s equivalent value yields an estimated total dividend of $3.23 per share.

Why It Matters

• The combined cash + stock dividend increases near-term shareholder return and slightly raises shares outstanding (about 1.2%), which investors should factor into per-share metrics.
• Key dates (record and payment) determine who is eligible for the payout; fractional-share cash treatment and the $177.32 valuation affect the cash received for fractional holdings.
• The 8-K furnishing contains the press release but is furnished (not “filed”) and therefore generally won’t be incorporated by reference into future SEC filings.
