Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers The Company’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations (“Regulations”) provides that the Board may fix or change the number of directors and may fill any director’s office that is created by an increase in the number of directors; provided, however, that the Board may not increase the number of directors to more than fifteen nor reduce the number of directors to less than five. Pursuant to the Regulations, on October 29, 2025, the Board: (1) increased the size of the Board from seven directors to eight directors, and (2) appointed Diane C. Nordin to serve as a director on the Board and fill the seat created by the increase in the number of directors on the Board. The Board appointed Ms. Nordin, whom the Board determined is an independent director, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Governance Committee. Ms. Nordin has also been appointed as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee. Ms. Nordin’s current term continues through the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2026 (“Annual Meeting”). There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Nordin and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director.
