 in the event of a material restatement of financial results, the Board or a Board Committee will attempt to recover from any current or former executive officer the portion of incentive compensation that was received by the executive officer or vested during the three-year period prior to the determination that a restatement was required and that would not have been earned had performance been measured on the basis of the restated results.

#### Stock Ownership Guidelines
In fiscal 2024, the Committee adopted executive stock ownership guidelines that require executives to hold shares equivalent to a multiple of their base salary (5x for the CEO, 3x for the President, and 2x for the other executives). Executives are required to be in compliance with these guidelines by the fifth anniversary of the adoption of these guidelines or the fifth anniversary of their appointment to a role covered by these guidelines, whichever is later. If a covered executive falls below the required ownership level following the five-year grace period, they will be required to hold 100% of shares received (net of taxes) until they meet the target ownership level. For purposes of calculating compliance with the guidelines, the Company includes shares owned outright or beneficially by the executive and unvested RSUs. Unexercised stock options and unvested performance-based awards are excluded.

These stock ownership guidelines are intended to complement the other good governance features employed by the Company, which include: anti-hedging / pledging policy, compensation recoupment policy (i.e., clawback), annual risk assessment, and use of an independent, third-party compensation consultant.

Our Company strongly encourages each of our directors, executive officers and certain other senior level persons that have regular access to material nonpublic information about our Company to conduct any sales of our securities through the use of stock trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a written document that pre-establishes the amount (or ratio), prices, and dates (or range of possible dates) of future purchases or sales of our common stock. These trading plans are only entered into during open trading windows and when the individual is not aware of material nonpublic information regarding the Company. In addition, trades can only be initiated under a trading plan following a specified cooling off period from when the plan was approved.
