Series A Preferred Stock about the redemption process that will occur soon, effective February 13, 2026.
Redemption Details
The company intends to redeem a total of
10,000 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, with a
par value of $25.00 each and a corresponding liquidation preference of
$25,000 per share. Attached to each preferred share are
Depositary Shares, each of which represents a

February 17, 2026, to those who held the Series A Preferred Stock
as of January 26, 2026. This structured timeline ensures that eligible shareholders receive the declared dividend on the impending payment date.
Further, the company specifies that once the Redemption Price has been paid out, it will no longer have obligations related to dividends or any other amounts linked to the redeemed shares, streamlining its capital structure.
