The transfer was made at a price per share equal to $429.00 (the average of the high and low prices of shares of common stock of the Issuer on August 26, 2026).

The Reporting Person believes that the transfer of shares from the trust constitutes a change in form of beneficial ownership of such shares, exempted by Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Subsequently, on August 26, 2026, the Reporting Person transferred 7,769 shares of common stock of the Issuer from direct ownership to a trust. The shares reported herein are held in a fully managed account over which the Reporting Person does not have any investment authority. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. /s/ Kevin A. Ball, Attorney-in-Fact 2026-08-28
