. As part of its annual review, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s performance as compared to the compensation peer group and considered any changes to an NEO’s base salary or target amounts for their semiannual cash bonus awards. The Compensation Committee further considered any annual equity awards for our executive officers, and in February 2025, the Compensation Committee approved equity awards for our NEOs, which were granted that same month, after markets closed on the second business day following the Company’s announcement of its third-

quarter earnings. In March 2025, the Compensation Committee approved cash-based compensation adjustments for our NEOs for fiscal year 2026.

Ultimately, any decision to adjust compensation was made in the discretion of the Compensation Committee in view of the numerous factors and circumstances discussed in this proxy statement.

#### A. Base Salaries
In setting base salaries, the Compensation Committee reviews the Compensation Market Data, the recommendations of our CEO for base salaries other than his own, and each NEO’s individual performance for the year, as well as the other factors discussed above in the section entitled “ How We Set Target Total Direct Compensation .”

Our NEOs’ base salaries for fiscal year 2025 are set forth in the table below. These base salaries were set as part of the fiscal year 2024 review of executive compensation discussed in our proxy statement of last year, except for the base salaries of Mr. Habermann and Mr. Woolard, which were set separately, as noted above, in conjunction with Mr. Habermann’s transition into the role of Interim CFO and Mr. Woolard’s hiring as CFO.

The figures in the column “Percentile Range” are relative to the applicable Compensation Market Data developed by Compensia for its fiscal year 2024 review (its January 2024 analysis); an “n/a” in this column reflects that the associated salary was not set during that review.
