Under this policy, related parties include all of our Directors and executive officers and their immediate family members, and entities owned (more than 10% ownership) by a Director, executive officer or their immediate family members. In fiscal year 2026, there were no related party transactions between us and related parties that required ratification or approval under this policy.”

Paragraphs are compared by their words, not read by AI: one counts as new when no paragraph last year shares half of its words, or when it names a person or company last year's section did not.
A deal reported again with a new amount is not new. Always check the filing.
