6 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Feb 26, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 18 Communication companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, including a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and a report issued by our independent registered public accounting firm on that assessment. Our ability to comply with the annual internal control reporting requirements will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls across our company. We from time to time make investments to further automate, streamline and centralize our businesses’ use of these systems and expect these systems and controls to require additional investment as we become increasingly more complex and our business grows. To effectively manage this complexity, we will need to continue to maintain and revise our operational, financial and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures. Certain weaknesses or deficiencies or failures to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation or operation of these controls, could harm our operating results and cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, which could adversely affect our business and reduce our stock price.

Controls and procedures
The Company is currently in the process of a multi-year implementation to update its enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system to a new fully cloud-based system that will replace our existing system. During the third quarter of 2026, we implemented our updated ERP to replace a legacy system at certain of our businesses. We have updated our internal controls over financial reporting accordingly to allow for modifications to our business processes. As the phased implementation occurs, it may result in additional changes to our processes and procedures which in turn may result in further changes to our internal controls over financial reporting. We will continue to evaluate any further changes in our internal control over financial reporting over the course of the implementation of the new ERP and other related systems.
