REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator of the Crane Savings and Investment Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the Crane Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report on Supplemental Schedules

The supplemental schedule of assets (held at the end of year) as of December 31, 2025, and the supplemental schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions for the year ended December 31, 2025, have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audits of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

CRANE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Crane Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) describes the Plan’s provisions as in effect on December 31, 2025 and is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s information.

General — The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering certain United States of America (“U.S.”) employees of Crane Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard”) serves as the trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan. Since the Plan offers the Crane Company Stock Fund as an investment option as of December 31, 2025, the Plan also operates as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Plan Amendments — The Plan was adopted and established on January 1, 1985 and was restated in 2019 and amended on July 31,2020, December 30, 2021 and December 29,2022. The amended and restated Plan has been further amended as follows:

On May 16, 2022, Crane Co., a Delaware corporation (“Crane Co.”) and, the sponsor of the Plan as of such date, completed a reorganization merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2022 (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization resulted in Crane Co. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings, Co., with Crane Co., on the same day, distributing certain of its operating assets and liabilities to Crane Holdings, Co., including its rights and obligations as Plan sponsor. Accordingly, effective as of May 16, 2022, Crane Holdings, Co. became the Plan sponsor.

In anticipation of the spin-off of Crane Company from Crane Holdings, Co. (the "Spin-Off”), Crane Holdings, Co. transferred sponsorship of the Plan to Crane Company effective as of January 1, 2023. In connection with this change in Plan sponsorship, Crane Holdings, Co. became a participating employer in the Plan effective as of January 1, 2023 and, on and after January 1, 2023, the Plan became known as the Crane Savings and Investment Plan.

Effective April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co. became Crane NXT, Co. (“Crane NXT”) and ceased its participation in the Plan. Contemporaneously, Crane NXT established the Crane NXT Savings and Investment Plan (the “Crane NXT Plan”) to provide benefits to its eligible employees and the eligible employees of its participating affiliates that were identical to those in effect under the Plan immediately prior to the Spin-Off. In connection with the Spin-Off, the account balance of each eligible employee of Crane NXT and its participating affiliates who was a participant in the Plan immediately prior to the completion of the Spin-Off was spun-off from the Plan and account balances were transferred to the Crane NXT Plan. Also in connection with the Spin-Off, stockholders of Crane Holdings, Co. received a one-for-one distribution of Crane Company stock for every share of Crane Holdings, Co. (now Crane NXT) stock they owned, resulting in both the Crane NXT single stock fund and the Crane Company Stock Fund within the Plan.

The Plan was amended and restated effective April 3, 2023 to reflect the cessation of Crane NXT’s participation in the Plan and the spin-off of the account balances of eligible employees of Crane NXT and its participating affiliates from the Plan to the Crane NXT Plan.

Post Spin-Off, the Plan included the Crane Company Stock Fund, an employer stock fund, as well as the Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund, a single stock fund.

The Plan was further amended following the Spin-Off to (1) reflect the ending date of the outbreak period in connection with the expiration of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) address the use of Plan forfeitures consistent with the requirements of Proposed Treasury Regulation §1.401-7, (3) increase the required beginning date for the commencement of Plan distributions, provide the Crane Savings Plan Committee (the "Committee") with discretion in determining whether to recoup inadvertent Plan benefit overpayments, and increase the catch-up contribution limit for certain participants, all consistent with the requirements of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, and (4) reflect certain governance, legal and administrative requirements and other changes in connection with the Company's M&A activity.

Transfers in due to Plan mergers — In connection with the Company’s 2024 acquisition of CryoWorks, Inc. effective January 1,2025, the CryoWorks, Inc. 401(k) Plan and Trust was merged with and into the Plan, and its assets of $4,432,876 were transferred into the Plan.

CRANE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

In connection with the Company's 2024 acquisition of Technifab Products Inc. effective June 30, 2025, the Technifab Products, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan was merged with and into the Plan, and its assets of $4,622,649 were transferred into the Plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, total assets of $397,316 and $14,311,934 were transferred into the Plan, as a result of the mergers of the Baum Lined Piping America 401(k) Plan and the Vian Enterprises, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, respectively, with and into the Plan in connection with the Company's prior acquisitions of Baum America Corp. DBA Baum Lined Piping America and Vian Enterprises, Inc, respectively.

Transfer out due to divestiture — Effective January 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Engineered Materials segment. In connection with the sale, total assets of $45,728,900 were transferred out of the Plan in April 2025. Also in connection with the sale, the Plan was amended to include qualifying provisions required by applicable law for multiple employer plans, employees of the Engineered Materials segment, represented by Crane Composites, Inc. and Noble Composites, Inc. were allowed to continue participating in the Plan until April 1, 2025, and the Plan was operated and administered in accordance with its terms as a multiple employer plan during such period.

Administration of the Plan — The authority to manage, control and interpret the Plan as of December 31, 2025, is vested in the Committee, which was appointed by the Board of Directors of Crane Company and is a named fiduciary within the meaning of ERISA.

Participation — Subject to certain conditions, as of December 31, 2025, U.S. employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. Each new or rehired eligible employee is automatically enrolled in the Plan, unless the employee affirmatively opts out of participation, at a pre-tax deferral rate of 3% of the employee’s eligible compensation. An employee who is automatically enrolled may affirmatively elect a different rate or to make all or a portion of his or her deferrals on a Roth after-tax or after-tax basis. Automatic contributions are invested in the Vanguard Target Retirement Fund option with a target retirement date closest to the year in which the participant will reach age 65, unless the participant affirmatively elects to invest his or her deferrals in one or more of the other Plan investment options. Temporary employees may become eligible to participate in the Plan upon completing six months of service, regardless of the number of hours of service completed.

Contributions and Funding Policy — Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan from one to 75% of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, a Roth after-tax basis, or a combination of these three, as defined by the Plan. The contribution limit for highly compensated employees, defined as those whose annual earnings equal at least $160,000 in 2025 and $155,000 in 2024, is 10% of annual compensation. Those participants who meet the eligibility requirements may contribute additional amounts (age 50 catch-up contributions and age 60 to 63 super catch-up contributions), which are not eligible for a Company matching contribution. Contributions are invested in the Plan investment options selected by the participant and are subject to certain Code limitations.

The Company contributes on a matching basis 50% of the first 6% of each participant’s pre-tax or Roth after-tax contributions.

In accordance with the Code, participant pre-tax and Roth after-tax contributions could not exceed $23,500 in 2025 and $23,000 in 2024. Pre-tax catch-up contributions could not exceed $7,500 in 2025 and 2024. Consistent with the requirements of SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, participants between ages 60 and 63 were eligible to make catch-up contributions up to $11,250 in 2025. Discrimination tests are performed annually, and any test discrepancies are resolved in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance.

In addition to participant deferral contributions and Company matching contributions on those deferrals, the Plan provided a 3% non-matching Company contribution to eligible participants in 2025 and 2024.

Rollover Contributions — Rollover contributions from other qualified plans are accepted by the Plan. Rollover contributions represent participant account balances transferred from other non-company qualified plans.

Investments — Participants direct the investment of contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan offers registered investment companies (including a money market fund), collective trust funds (including a stable value fund) and, as of December 31, 2025, the Crane Company Stock Fund as investment options for participants.

The Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund was removed from the Plan effective July 1, 2025, and was liquidated as of December 31, 2025. The Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund was a frozen stock fund that contained common stock issued by Crane NXT. No pre-tax,

CRANE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

Roth after-tax or after-tax contributions, Company matching contributions, Company non-matching contributions, loan repayments, rollover contributions or account transfers were permitted to be invested in the Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund.

Participants are not permitted to invest more than 20% of their Plan account balance in the Crane Company Stock Fund investment option. Participants with more than 20% of their Plan account balance in the Crane Company Stock Fund investment option are not permitted to contribute to, or transfer money from, other Plan investments to the Crane Company Stock Fund while the fund balance exceeds the 20% limit.

Participant Accounts — Individual accounts are maintained for each participant in the Plan. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and related matching and non-matching Company contributions and Plan earnings. Participant accounts are also charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses and administrative fees that are paid by the Plan. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting — Participant contributions plus actual earnings thereon are immediately vested. Vesting for matching and non-matching Company contributions generally is as follows:


Years of Service						Vested Interest
Less than 1 year						None
1 year but fewer than 2						20%
2 years but fewer than 3						40%
3 years but fewer than 4						60%
4 years but fewer than 5						80%
5 years or more						100%

Participants whose employment terminates by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement are fully vested. Participants also are fully vested upon the attainment of age 65. Certain accounts that were merged into the Plan from other plans are subject to different vesting schedules.

Forfeited Accounts — When certain terminations of participation in the Plan occur, the non-vested portion of the participant's account, as defined by the Plan, represents a forfeiture. These forfeited non-vested accounts are used first to pay the administrative expenses of the Plan, and then to reduce future Company contributions. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Company contributions were reduced by $3,120,446 and $1,580,858, respectively, from forfeited non-vested accounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the remaining balance in forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $324,556 and $971,969, respectively.

Payment of Benefits — Upon retirement, disability, termination of employment or death, a participant or designated beneficiary will receive a distribution in the form of a lump sum, installment or partial payment equal to all or a portion of the participant’s account balance. If the participant’s account balance is greater than $1,000, the participant may elect to defer the withdrawal until reaching the age of 73. A participant may apply to the Committee for a distribution in cases of hardship. The Committee has the sole discretion to approve or disapprove hardship withdrawal requests, in accordance with the Code.

Notes Receivable from Participants — Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Loans are secured by an assignment of the participant’s vested interest in the Plan, and bear interest at the prevailing prime lending rate as of the date the loan is made, plus 2%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Certain participant accounts that were merged into the Plan from other plans are subject to different loan terms. Participants may not have more than two loans outstanding at any time. As of December 31, 2025, participant loans have maturities through 2040 at interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 10.5%, which includes loans that were transferred from the Company's acquisitions that maintained their historical provisions.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in preparation of the financial statements of the Plan.

CRANE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

Basis of Accounting — The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties — The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including registered investment companies (including a money market fund), collective trust funds (including a stable value fund), and the Crane Company Stock Fund. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Concentration of Investments — Included in investments at December 31, 2025 and 2024, are shares of Crane Company common stock amounting to $88,425,242 and $85,926,972, respectively. These investments represent 7% of total investments, at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. A significant decline in the market value of the Crane Company common stock would significantly affect the assets available for benefits.

Included in investments at December 31, 2024 are shares of Crane NXT Co. common stock amounting to $30,972,339 representing 3% of total investments. The Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund was removed from the Plan effective July 1,2025 and was liquidated as of December 31, 2025.

Investment Valuation — The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition — Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable from Participants — Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as benefits paid to participants based on the terms of the Plan document.

Administrative Expenses — Plan administrative expenses are paid out of the Plan assets or by the Company in compliance with the terms of the Plan document and ERISA guidance. Participants pay administrative costs for loans, withdrawals, beneficiary determinations, and hardship distributions, as well as qualified domestic relations orders.

All investment management and transaction fees directly related to the Plan investments are paid by the Plan. Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned and are not separately reflected. Consequently, investment management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments. The Plan also has a revenue-sharing agreement with non-Vanguard investments whereby certain investment managers return a portion of the investment fees to the recordkeeper, which are then credited on a quarterly basis to the participants who are invested in those funds. There were no unallocated amounts related to the revenue sharing agreements on December 31, 2025 or 2024. Personnel and facilities of the Company used by the Plan for its accounting and other activities are provided at no charge to the Plan.

Payment of Benefits — Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. There were no participants who requested a distribution from the Plan, but who had not yet been paid such distribution as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Contributions — Employee contributions are recorded when withheld and Company matching contributions are recorded when the associated employee contributions are recorded.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between

CRANE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

market participants at the measurement date. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows: Level 1, which refers to securities valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Plan’s policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

Investments in Registered Investment Companies: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the respective funds based on quoted market prices from active markets and categorized as Level 1.

Money Market Fund: Short-term money market accounts are categorized as Level 1. They are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Crane Company Stock Fund: A separately managed account that is valued daily based on the underlying stock's closing price on its primary exchange. The fund owns the underlying securities of the separately managed account and is generally considered separately as individual investments for accounting, auditing and financial statement reporting purposes. Crane Company common stock is categorized as Level 1.

Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund: A separately managed account that was valued daily based on the underlying stock's closing price on its primary exchange. The fund owned the underlying securities of the separately managed account and was generally considered separately as individual investments for accounting, auditing and financial statement reporting purposes. Crane NXT, Co. common stock was categorized as Level 1. As a result of the Spin-Off, the Plan retained Crane Holdings, Co. shares (renamed Crane NXT) and received shares of Crane Company. The Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund was removed from the Plan Effective July 1, 2025 was liquidated as of December 31, 2025.

Collective Trust Funds: Valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of shares of a bank collective trust held by the Plan at year-end. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value and is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. Participant transactions (issuances and redemptions) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment advisor reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure the securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.

Stable Value Fund - The stable value fund is composed primarily of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and is valued at the NAV of units of the collective trust. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. This practical expedient would not be used if it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different from the reported NAV. Participant transactions (issuances and redemptions) may occur daily. If the Plan initiates a full redemption of the collective trust, the issuer reserves the right to require 12 months’ notification in order to confirm that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.

NOTE 4. STABLE VALUE FUND

The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III is a collective trust fund sponsored by Vanguard. The beneficial interest of each participant is represented by units. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the Fund’s constant NAV of $1 per unit. Distribution to the Fund’s unit holders is declared daily from the net investment income and automatically reinvested in the Fund on a monthly basis, when paid. It is the policy of the Fund to use best efforts to maintain a stable NAV of $1 per unit; although there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this value.

NOTE 6. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments include shares of Crane Company common stock, registered investment companies and collective trust funds managed by Vanguard. As a result of Spin-Off, the Plan included Crane NXT, Co. common stock as an investment alternative. The Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund has been frozen to new investments, elective deferrals, Company contributions, loan repayments, rollover contributions and account transfers since the Spin-Off. The Crane NXT, Co. Stock Fund was removed from the Plan effective July 1, 2025 and was liquidated as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, Crane Company is the Plan sponsor and Vanguard is a trustee as defined by the Plan (see Note 1), and therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. Balances of these funds as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1,022,355,985 and $970,763,565, respectively. These funds had net investment income of $137,952,996 and $112,942,370 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fees incurred for investment management services, if any, were paid by the Plan as a reduction in the return on investment.

The Plan issues loans to participants under the deferred arrangement portion of the Plan, which are secured by the vested balances in the participants’ accounts. Notes receivables from participants as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are $11,174,323 and $12,850,814, respectively.

Certain officers and employees of the Company (who may also be participants in the Plan) perform administrative services related to the operation and financial reporting of the Plan. The Company pays these individuals salaries and also pays other administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan.

NOTE 7. NON-EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS

On January 2, 2024, the Company acquired Vian Enterprises, Inc. ("Vian"). In connection with the Vian acquisition, the Vian Enterprises, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the "Vian Plan") was merged into the Plan, and Vian employees became eligible to participate in the Plan, effective June 30, 2024. As reported on the Vian Plan Form 5500 Supplemental Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions (Schedule H, Line 4a) Vian failed to remit timely to the Vian Plan’s custodian certain employee contributions in the amount of $11,258, within the period prescribed by the DOL regulations, which was inherited by the Plan. The delay in remitting contributions to the custodian was due to administrative errors.

NOTE 8. PLAN TERMINATION

The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, which includes the right to vary the amount of, or to terminate, the Company’s contributions to the Plan. In the event of the Plan’s termination or discontinuance of contributions thereunder, the interest of each participant in benefits earned to such date, to the extent then funded, is fully vested and non-forfeitable. Subject to the requirements of the Code, the Board of Directors shall thereupon direct either (i) Vanguard to hold the accounts of participants in accordance with the provisions of the Plan without regard to such termination until all funds in such accounts have been distributed in accordance with such provisions, or (ii) Vanguard to immediately distribute to each participant all amounts then credited to the participant’s account as a lump sum.

NOTE 9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The IRS has determined and informed the Company by letter dated June 23, 2020 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. The Company and the Committee believe that the Plan was designed and was being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and the Plan and related trust continued to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plan’s financial statements.
