This 424B5 prospectus supplement finalizes the terms and initiates an At-The-Market (ATM) equity offering, following the S-3ASR registration filed on April 27, 2026. The company is authorized to sell up to $100 million of common stock from time to time through Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. This program introduces a potential overhang on the stock as shares may be sold into the market, leading to dilution for existing shareholders. If the full $100 million is sold at the recent assumed price of $47.26 per share, approximately 2.12 million new shares could be issued, representing about 13.33% of the current outstanding shares. The proceeds are intended for potential acquisitions and general corporate purposes, including debt repayment, which could strengthen the balance sheet but comes at the cost of dilution.
