Key Details

• Paul M. Manheim will not stand for re‑election and will retire effective at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting (date not specified in the filing).
• Mr. Manheim has served on the Board since 2011 and chaired the Audit Committee; he was also a member of the Compensation Committee.
• The Board approved a reduction in Board size to eight members, effective as of the 2026 annual meeting.
• The Company is evaluating changes to the composition of Board committees; the June 26, 2026 press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters A long‑serving director and the Audit Committee chair stepping down is a material governance change — investors should note the pending change in oversight of financial reporting and internal controls. The Board’s reduction to eight members and the anticipated committee reshuffling may affect independent director composition and committee leadership. Watch for further disclosures (proxy materials or subsequent 8‑Ks) naming new directors or a new Audit Committee chair and for any related governance updates.
