(formerly known as Gannett Fleming, Inc.) has completed a merger through an affiliate of TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants ("TranSystems"), effective August 5, 2024 (the "Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction, TranSystems became a subsidiary within the GFT Infrastructure, Inc. organization. Earlier this year, the overall organization rebranded as GFT. GFT has been working to integrate operations, systems and people. Effective July 5, 2025, as a result of an internal reorganization, employees of TranSystems have been transferred to GFT Infrastructure, Inc. GFT Infrastructure, Inc. will be the organization's main operating entity and, while TranSystems will continue to exist as a subsidiary for a period following this corporate consolidation, its operations will wind down as contracts are assigned. Thank you for your patience throughout this exciting process. If you require any additional information regarding the Transaction or our subsequent consolidation, please do not hesitate to reach out to Michael Hobbs at mrhobbs@gftinc.com or by telephone at (817) 223-2627. We look forward to continuing to serve you as GFT. Sincerely, GF� Infrastruct�.re;�Jnc. ��u �� ' � �~ ��� Audr 'e�i J.

An LLC that is a disregarded entity should check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Otherwise, it should check the "LLC" box and enter its appropriate tax classification.

A flow-through entity is required to complete this line to indicate that it has direct or indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries when it provides the Form W-9 to another flow-through entity in which it has an ownership interest. This change is intended to provide a flow-through entity with information regarding the status of its indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries, so that it can satisfy any applicable reporting requirements. For example, a partnership that has any indirect foreign partners may be required to complete Schedules K-2 and K-3. See the Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065).
