Upon discovery, the Company promptly activated its incident response plan, engaging both internal teams and third-party cybersecurity experts. </span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Following the containment of the initial threat and as a result of a subsequent, comprehensive review with a third-party vendor, the Company determined certain files may have been accessed or acquired on February 1, 2025, including customers' and subscribers personal information. The Company reported the Incident to relevant law enforcement and will cooperate with any resulting investigation or efforts to hold the perpetrators accountable. In addition, through a data breach and recovery services vendor, the Company is offering identity theft protection services to those customers and subscribers potentially involved in the data breach. See Footnote 9.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">During the three months ended June 29, 2025, the Company incurred $1.2 million of expenses related to the Cyber Incident.
