    Item 5.02

    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

    At the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 2025 (“Annual Meeting”), Richard J. Daly, Patrick J. McEnany, Donald A. Denkhaus, Molly Harper, Tamar Thompson, and David S. Tierney were elected to the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

    As previously reported, Charles B. O’Keeffe, an independent member of the Board, did not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Mr. O’Keeffe had been a member of the Board since December 2004. His decision to retire from the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
