Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the first quarter of 2026, each of the Registrants' management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(b) and 15d‑15(b). These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by the Registrants to ensure that (a) material information relating to that Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to that Registrant's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by other employees of that Registrant and its subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated, and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people.

Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each of the Registrants concluded that such Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective (Item 307 of Regulation S‑K).

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Registrants continually strive to improve disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant. During the first quarter of 2026, a new ERP system was implemented for a majority of the financial accounting systems, which is expected to improve the efficiency of certain financial and related transaction processes. As part of the implementation of the ERP, the Registrants modified certain existing internal controls and implemented certain new controls in order to align the financial accounting processes with the new ERP system. The Registrants do not believe that any of these modifications or new controls have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, internal control

over financial reporting. There have been no other changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of the Registrants' internal control over financial reporting.
