Frequently Asked Questions

The 8-K filing itself does not provide the specific financial results. Investors should refer to Exhibit 99.1, the press release issued on February 18, 2026, which contains the detailed financial and statistical supplement for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2025.

A forward stock split increases the number of shares outstanding and decreases the price per share proportionally. A 25-for-1 split means that for every one share you currently own, you will receive an additional 24 shares, resulting in a total of 25 shares. This does not change the total market value of your investment but can make the stock more accessible to a wider range of investors.

Shareholders of record as of the close of market on Friday, March 6, 2026, will receive the additional shares after the close of market on Thursday, April 2, 2026. Trading on a split-adjusted basis is expected to begin at market open on Monday, April 6, 2026.

No, a stock split does not fundamentally alter the intrinsic value or overall market capitalization of the company. It is primarily a cosmetic change to adjust the per-share price and increase the number of shares outstanding.
