 termination event or a change-in-control, as of December 31, 2024. Also discussed is the basis upon which the payments and/or benefits were calculated. Except as noted, these amounts are the incremental or enhanced amounts that a NEO would have received that are greater than those that the Company would have provided to employees generally under the same circumstances. They are estimates only and are based on various assumptions. The actual amounts that would be paid or the benefits that would be provided can be determined only at the time that each event occurs. The table and the narrative discussion assume that (i) each NEO’s employment terminated on December 31, 2024 due in turn to each termination event; (ii) a change-in-control occurred on December 31, 2024 under the terms of various plans and agreements, regardless of a termination of employment, and (iii) values related to outstanding stock awards reflect the market value of the Company’s common stock of $418.67 per share, which was the closing price on the Nasdaq as of December 31, 2024.
