THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PLAN: The Trust funding the Plan has received an exemption letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 10, 2004, stating that the Trust is tax-exempt under the provisions of Section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) as a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association. The Plan and Trust are required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Trust. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and therefore, believes the related trust is tax-exempt. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.
