The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1a

Joe Wiegand, Clarence Sitter, Lyubomyr Shkandriy, Sheila Strommen, Kinley Slauter, and Darwin Lindsey all resided in TRMF housing for all or part of the year in Medora. The fair market value of the housing is a taxable benefit being included in taxable income.

Part I, Line 4a

Darwin Lindsey's employment with TRMF was terminated on 11/5/25 and a separation agreement was entered into which included a severance payment to Darwin of $16,266.96.

Part I, Line 5

Individual incentive plans were in place for executive team members Randy, Emily, Clarence, Lyubomyr, Sheila, Kinley and Daniel. A portion of their plans are tied to the result of meeting the company's financial goals. Joe and Darwin were eligible for the company-wide incentive plan which was also tied to meeting the company's financial goals. Incentives from 2023 that had been accrued were paid in 2024,and 2024 earned incentives were also paid out in 2024.The incentive that was earned in 2025 was paid out in 2026, and going forward this cadence will be followed. This explains the larger incentive payment in 2024 with none in 2025 for the executive team (with the exception of Randy due to his retirement).
