The hierarchy assigns the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described as follows:</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><i style="font-size:10.5pt;font-style:italic;">Level 1 -</i><font style="font-size:10.5pt;"> Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. &#160;An active market asset or liability is a market in which the transaction for the asset or liability occurs with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;font-style:italic;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><i style="font-size:10.5pt;font-style:italic;">Level 2 -</i><font style="font-size:10.5pt;"> Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as a quoted price for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are active; or model-derived valuation or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full terms of the assets or liabilities.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><i style="font-size:10.5pt;font-style:italic;">Level 3 -</i><font style="font-size:10.5pt;"> Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. &#160;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;">The asset&#8217;s or liability&#8217;s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. &#160;Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

If the Plan were to initiate a full redemption of the common collective trust, the investment advisor reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10.5pt;">The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

SECURE Act 2.0 contains over 90 new retirement provisions, with varying effective dates through 2027. Since SECURE Act 2.0 provisions include both required and optional elements, the plan administrator will determine the optional provisions to elect and amend the Plan document accordingly. Most of the significant provisions became effective in 2024 and thereafter. Accordingly, there is no material impact to the Plan&#8217;s 2024 financial statements.&#160;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New
