Key Details

• Richard J. Lampen retired as a Class I director, effective September 4, 2026 (close of business).
• The company filed the 8-K on September 4, 2026 under Item 5.02 (departure/election of directors or officers).
• The filing expressly states the retirement was not due to any disagreement with the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
• The 8-K was signed by J. Bryant Kirkland III, Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. The filing does not disclose a replacement.

Why It Matters
This is a board-level change in governance. For most investors, a single director retirement without stated disagreements is typically not material to daily operations or financial results. However, board composition can affect oversight and strategic decisions, so investors should watch for subsequent filings announcing a replacement director, committee reassignments, or other governance updates.
