The actual number of shares tied to the performance-based awards to be earned, if any, will be determined based on performance over the three-year performance period, i.e.,fiscal 2024-2026. Service-based awards are subject to four-year cliff vesting periods from the date of grant. In addition, for service-based awards, the Compensation Committee has discretion, depending upon Company and participant performance for the applicable fiscal year, to reduce the value of the award. Closer Look at Performance-Based Stock Units The Compensation Committee establishes pre-determined financial performance goals for the Company at the last quarterly Compensation Committee meeting held during the prior fiscal year (typically in September). The amount of the target award for each participant is set by the Compensation Committee during the first quarterly Compensation Committee meeting held during the initial fiscal year of the three year performance period (typically in December).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

| EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |

For fiscal 2024, performance-based restricted stock units awarded to our NEOs are tied to three-year sales and profit before taxes goals aligned with our strategic plan. These performance-based restricted stock units, similar to performance based restricted stock unit awards granted in prior years, include the following general provisions:

| • | Fifty percent of the award is tied to achievement of cumulative net sales over a three year period (fiscal 2024 - 2026) and the remaining fifty percent is tied to achievement of cumulative profit before taxes over the same three year period; |

| • | Awards are only paid if at least 80% of the target level of net sales or profit before taxes are met. Maximum payouts are made if 120% or more of target levels of net sales or profit before taxes are achieved; |

| • | The payouts for achievement of the threshold levels of performance are equal to 50% of the target award amount. The payouts for achievement of maximum levels of performance are equal to 150% of the target award amount. Each of the financial metrics receives a fifty percent weighting in determining the aggregate award
