 also receive a temporary Social Security bridge payment of $1,638 per month until age 62 or death . The Retirement Plan is designed to provide 1.5% of average monthly eligible earnings per year of credited service, payable at age 65. Early retirement is available at age 55 with 10 years of service, subject to reduction. Benefits are subject to Internal Revenue Code compensation and benefit limits. The SERP is designed to provide 50% of an executive’s final average compensation, assuming 20 years of service. Final average compensation is based on eligible earnings over the 10 fiscal years before that date, or earlier if the participant left the plan, with special rules for service prior to 2008. Eligible earnings include base salary and a capped portion of the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) bonus; post-2008 bonuses are limited to 150% of base salary for SERP purposes. CEO PAY RATIO The following table shows the ratio of our CEO’s 2025 Annual Total Compensation to the Median Employee’s 2025 Annual Total Compensation, calculated per the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K (the “Annual Total Compensation”). For fiscal year 2025:

| The Annual Total Compensation of our CEO                                  | $16,228,599 |
| The Annual Total Compensation of our Median Employee                      |  $83,909.84 |
| The Ratio of the CEO’s to the Median Employee’s Annual Total Compensation |       193:1 |

The median employee was identified as of April 1, 2024, using total taxable earnings with applicable annualization, currency conversion, and permitted exclusions. As allowed by SEC rules, and with no material changes since last year, we used the same median employee group as in our 2024 proxy statement. This approach ensures consistency and comparability in our CEO pay ratio disclosure year over year. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the CEO pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates, and assumptions, our disclosure may not be comparable to the CEO pay ratios reported by other companies.
