On August 1, 2026, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors approved the Policy solely as it relates to the treatment of Company equity awards, such that upon a qualifying retirement the participant will be entitled to:

•full accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested Company restricted stock units held by the participant that were granted on or after the effective date of the Policy; and

•continued eligibility to vest in all outstanding Company performance stock units held by the participant, based on actual achievement of applicable performance goals, for up to 12 months following the participant’s retirement date (or 24 months for participants with at least 15 years of employment).

The foregoing qualifying retirement payments and benefits are subject to the participant’s execution of a general release of claims and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants. Eligible participants include the following named executive officers of the Company who currently are officers: Kaes Van’t Hof (Chief Executive Officer), Teresa Dick (Chief Financial Officer), Al Barkmann (Chief Engineer) and Austen Gilfillian (President).
