Key Details

• Filing date: February 13, 2026 (Form 8-K, Item 8.01).
• Press release announcing the quarterly common dividend attached as Exhibit 99.1.
• The 8-K includes the company’s Inline XBRL cover page (Exhibit 104).
• The Form 8-K itself does not state the dividend amount, record date, or payment date—those details are in the attached press release.

Why It Matters
A declared quarterly common dividend is relevant to income-focused investors and can affect shareholder yield and short-term stock interest. Because the 8-K references a press release for the announcement, investors should read Exhibit 99.1 (or the company’s investor relations release) for the dividend rate, record and payment dates, and any commentary on sustainability. Monitor subsequent filings and earnings reports for financial context that supports the dividend.
