Consistently Applied Compensation Measure (“CACM”)

Under the relevant rules, we are required to identify the median employee by use of a “consistently applied compensation measure,” or CACM. We chose a CACM that closely approximates the annual target total direct compensation of our employees. Specifically, we identified the median employee by aggregating, for each employee: a) annual base pay for 2024, b) annual target cash incentive opportunity for 2024, and c) the grant date fair value for equity awards granted in 2024. Cash compensation for new hire employees that commenced employment in 2024 was annualized to reflect a full year. This process resulted in the identification of an employee whose compensation was anomalous due to being a new hire in 2024. As a result, we substituted an employee near the median whose compensation was viewed as more representative.

#### Methodology and Pay Ratio
On December 31, 2024, the determination date, our principal executive officer was Mr. Marc Stapley, our Chief Executive Officer. For 2024, the total annual compensation for Mr. Stapley was $6,816,368. The total annual compensation of our median employee in 2024 was $154,756. The ratio of these two amounts is approximately 44:1.

This information is being provided for compliance purposes and is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management of the company used the CEO Pay Ratio measure in making compensation decisions.
