        <ExplanationTxt>THE VEBA TRUST, THE FILER OF THE FORM 990, IS THE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR THE HERITAGE GROUP HEALTH CARE PLAN ("BENEFIT PLAN"). A FORM 5500 IS FILED EACH YEAR ON BEHALF OF THE BENEFIT PLAN BASED ON THE CALENDAR YEAR. THE CALENDAR YEAR ACTIVITY OF THE BENEFIT PLAN IS AUDITED EACH YEAR, AND THE REQUIRED OPINION OF AN INDEPENDENT QUALIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT IS ATTACHED TO THE FORM 5500. THE LATEST AUDIT WAS PERFORMED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023. AS MENTIONED, THE BENEFIT PLAN REPORTS ON A CALENDAR YEAR BASIS WHILE THE VEBA TRUST REPORTS, BY WAY OF ITS ANNUAL FORM 990, ON A FISCAL YEAR BASIS THAT ENDS MAY 31ST OF EACH YEAR. THE JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER ACTIVITY OF THE VEBA TRUST IS INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL AUDIT OF THE BENEFIT PLAN, BUT A SEPARATE AUDIT OF THE VEBA TRUST FOR ITS YEAR ENDED MAY 31ST IS NOT PERFORMED.</ExplanationTxt>
