Stockholder Rights Plan

On January 11, 2026, our Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) following notification that the Terence E. Adderley Revocable Trust K had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 92.2% holding of the Company’s voting Class B common stock. In connection with the Rights Plan, the Company declared a dividend of one right per outstanding share of Class A and Class B common stock to stockholders of record as of 5:15 p.m. Eastern Time on January 11, 2026. The rights were initially not exercisable and would have become exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events, including if any person or group acquired beneficial ownership of 75% or more of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock.

On January 30, 2026, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Hunt and the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Plan. The amendment, among other things, exempted the Hunt purchase from Trust K as a triggering event under the Rights Plan and provided that the Rights Plan would expire immediately prior to the closing of that share transfer. The transfer closed on January 30, 2026, and, accordingly, the Rights Plan is no longer in effect as of that date. Additional information regarding the Rights Plan and the amendment is available in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed January 12, 2026 and January 30, 2026.
