Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of June 26, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 26, 2026.

Richards Manufacturing Acquisition

We acquired Richards Manufacturing on April 1, 2025. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business’ internal control over financial reporting from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Accordingly, we excluded Richards Manufacturing from our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2025. The Richards Manufacturing operations will be included in our annual assessment for the year ending September 25, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 26, 2026, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Environmental Matters

Item 103 of Regulation S-K requires the disclosure of certain environmental matters in which a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and when such proceedings involve the potential for monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed a specified threshold. In accordance with the SEC guidance on this item, we have chosen a reporting threshold for such proceedings of $1 million. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose.
