• Footnotes: the 4,445 figure represents ESOP account shares as of June 30, 2026; each phantom unit is a contingent right to one share and may be settled in cash or common stock; some phantom units vest in three equal installments beginning July 1, 2027, while others are fully vested and will settle upon the reporting person’s retirement.

Context

• Phantom stock units are derivatives that give a contingent right to value in cash or stock at settlement — they are not an immediate share purchase. Awards like these are routine compensation actions and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling intent. The Form 4 was filed within the required reporting window.
