 15 percent for highly compensated employees in 2024), which includes salary and payments under the Annual Incentive Plan, on a pre-taxbasis or as Roth contributions. We provide a matching contribution equal to 100 percent of the first five percent of eligible compensation that an employee contributes in any year. In addition, the plan provides a profit sharing feature under which we make an annual contribution to the account of each employee based on our performance in the preceding year and can make additional contributions for all employees excluding at or above the executive vice president level, including our named executive officers. The performance measures and results used to calculate the annual contribution level are identical to the Company-wide measures described applicable to payouts under the Annual Incentive Plan described above under “2024 Compensation—Annual Incentive Plan.” Achievement of a performance rating of 1.0 would have resulted in a contribution of five percent of a participant’s base salary and Annual Incentive Plan payments made in 2024. Based on 2024 performance results, the Compensation & Human Capital Committee approved a contribution equal to 6.95 percent of each of the U.S. named executive officer’s eligible compensation in 2024. Amounts credited to an employee’s account in the plan may be invested among a number of funds, including a Company stock fund. A participant’s account is adjusted to reflect the rate of return, positive or negative, on the investments. Employee contributions and compensation on which our profit sharing contributions may be based cannot exceed limits under the Internal Revenue Code (the eligible compensation limit was $345,000 in 2024).
