The Corporation fixed March 5, 2024 as the record date for determining which holders of its common stock are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the meeting, and the meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 2, 2024.

It lists the common stock CUSIP (69047Q 102) and ISIN (US69047Q1022), confirms March 5, 2024 as both the record date for notice and voting and the beneficial ownership determination date, and indicates that notice-and-access requirements apply to both beneficial and registered holders. Under Item 7.01, the information furnished is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into Securities Act filings.
