Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, other than the ongoing changes resulting from the FCG acquisition discussed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On November 30, 2023, we completed the acquisition of FCG. We are currently integrating processes, procedures, and internal controls related to the acquisition. FCG's total assets and income before taxes represented approximately 30.8 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated total assets and earnings before taxes as of March 31, 2024 and for the quarter then ended. See Note 4, Acquisitions, to the consolidated financial statements and Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to the acquisition of FCG. This exclusion is permitted based upon current guidance of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.
