Group, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into a distribution agreement (the &#8220;Distribution Agreement&#8221;) with Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC (&#8220;Wells Fargo&#8221;) and BofA Securities, Inc. (&#8220;BofA Securities&#8221; and, together with Wells Fargo, the
&#8220;Agents&#8221; and &#8220;Forward Sellers&#8221;), and Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (collectively,
the &#8220;Forward Purchasers&#8221;) relating to the issuance, offer, and sale from time to time of shares of the Company&#8217;s common
stock, par value $1.00 per share (the &#8220;Common Stock&#8221;), having an aggregate gross sale price of up to $400 million (including
shares of Common Stock that may be sold pursuant to the forward sale agreements described below, the &#8220;Shares&#8221;). The Shares
may be offered and sold by any method or payment permitted by law to be an &#8220;at the market offering&#8221; as defined in Rule 415
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), including by means of ordinary brokers&#8217; transactions
on the New York Stock Exchange, the existing trading market for the Common Stock, or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time
of sale, or sales made to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network. In addition, the Shares may be offered
and sold by such other methods, including privately-negotiated transactions (including block trades), as the Company and any Agent agree
in writing. The Shares may be offered and sold in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time, but the Company
has no obligation to offer and sell any of the Shares. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company
from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, and determinations by the Company
of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Distribution Agreement provides
that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company through the Agents in their capacity as Agents, the Company may
enter into forward sale agreements with the Forward Purchasers. Concurrently with, and pursuant to, the Distribution Agreement, the Company
entered into two separate master forward sale confirmations (the &#8220;Master Forward Sale Confirmations&#8221;), each dated August 7,
2025, with each of the Forward Purchasers, respectively. In connection with each forward sale agreement under a Master Forward Sale Confirmation,
the relevant Forward Purchaser will, at the Company&#8217;s request, attempt to borrow from third parties and, through the relevant Forward
Seller, sell a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement to hedge the forward sale
agreement.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The forward sale price per share
under each forward sale agreement will initially equal the product of (1) an amount equal to one minus the applicable forward selling
commission, and (2) the volume-weighted average price per share at which the borrowed shares of Common Stock were sold pursuant to the
Distribution Agreement by the relevant Forward Seller. Thereafter, the forward sale price will be subject to adjustment as described in
the relevant forward sale agreement. The forward sale agreements provide that the forward sale price, as well as the sales prices used
to calculate the initial forward sale price, will be subject to increase or decrease based on an interest rate factor equal to
the specified benchmark&#8217;s daily rate less a spread and subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends on the Common
Stock during the term of the particular forward sale agreement. If the specified benchmark&#8217;s daily rate is less than the spread
for a particular forward sale agreement on any day, the interest factor will result in a reduction of the applicable forward sale price
for such day.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company will not initially
receive any proceeds from the sale of borrowed Shares of the Company&#8217;s Common Stock by a Forward Seller. If the Company elects to
physically settle any forward sale agreement by issuing and delivering shares of Common Stock, the Company will receive an amount of cash
from the relevant Forward Purchaser equal to the product of the forward sale price per share under that particular forward sale agreement
and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the particular forward sale agreement. The Company expects to receive proceeds from
the sale of Shares by a Forward Seller upon future physical settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement with the relevant Forward
Purchaser on dates specified by the Company on or prior to the maturity date of the relevant forward sale agreement. Although the Company
expects to settle any forward sale agreement with a full physical settlement, it may, except in limited circumstances, elect a cash or
net share settlement for all or a portion of its obligations under such forward sale agreement. If the Company elects to cash settle or
net share settle a forward sale agreement, the Company may not (in the case of cash settlement) or will not (in the case of net share
settlement) receive any proceeds, and the Company may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of Common Stock (in the case
of net share settlement) to the relevant Forward Purchaser.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company will pay each Agent
a commission of up to 1.0% of the sales price of all Shares issued by the Company and sold through it as the Company&#8217;s Agent under
the Distribution Agreement. The commission the Company pays to Agents for sales by privately negotiated transactions (including block
trades) or other methods may vary, as the Company and any Agent agree to in writing. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any
expenses payable by the Company and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection
with the sales, will be the Company&#8217;s net proceeds for the sale of the Shares. In connection with each forward sale agreement, the
relevant Forward Seller will receive, reflected in a reduced initial forward sale price payable by the relevant Forward Purchaser under
its forward</p>

Act has elapsed after the applicable Settlement Date, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to
remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Counterparty
or such transfer agent of seller&rsquo;s and broker&rsquo;s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer or its affiliates in
connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for
the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment

(the &#8220;<U>Shares</U>&#8221;), pursuant to (i) the Distribution Agreement, dated August 7, 2025 (the

Association and Bank of America, N.A. (the &#8220;<U>Forward Purchasers</U>&#8221;) and (ii) each Master Confirmation for Forward Sale,

the &#8220;<U>Master Forward Confirmations</U>&#8221; and, together with the Agreement, the &#8220;<U>Transaction Documents</U>&#8221;).
The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company&#8217;s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-289348),
which became effective upon its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;<U>Commission</U>&#8221;) on August
7, 2025 (together with the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date hereof, the

the Transaction Documents and the Prospectus, and (iii) receipt by the Company of the consideration therefor in accordance with the terms
of the Transaction Documents, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.</FONT></P>
