 The Board of Directors, as required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, is asking shareholders to cast a non-binding, advisory vote indicating their approval of that compensation by voting FOR approval of, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the CD&A, compensation tables, and narrative discussion.                                       
 As described in the CD&A below, to support the execution of our business model and our long-term success, we continue to focus on our core compensation objectives: incentivizing and rewarding performance; sustaining our position of strength in a competitive and changing retail environment; supporting teamwork, management stability, and succession planning; and fostering alignment with shareholder interests. We encourage you to review the CD&A. 
 The Board is asking shareholders to support this proposal. Although this vote is non-binding, the Compensation Committee and the Board value the views of our shareholders. As in past years, the Board and Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this vote when determining future compensation arrangements for our NEOs.                                                                                                                       |     |                                                                                                                                    |
