 total compensation for our CEO as reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table of $8,207,393; 
 and                                                                                              |

| • | annual                                                 
 total compensation for our median employee of $85,107. |

Accordingly, the ratio of Mr. Gary’s annual total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation for 2024 was 96:1. In 2024 we identified a new median employee for purposes of calculating the 2024 CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure. In determining this median employee, we examined taxable compensation for all individuals who were employed by us on November 1, 2024, excluding Mr. Gary, our CEO on that date. We included all employees of the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis; whether located in the U.S. or abroad; and without regard to whether the employees are salaried or hourly. We did not make any material assumptions, adjustments, or estimates with respect to taxable compensation or in identifying the median employee, and we did not annualize the compensation for any full-time or permanent part-time employees that were employed by us for all of 2024. We believe the use of annual taxable compensation for all employees is a consistently applied compensation measure. Consistent with the SEC rules, we elected to use the newly determined median employee in 2024. In calculating the 2024 annual total compensation for such employee, we used the same methodology as was used to calculate the total compensation of our CEO as reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and in calculating the pay ratio allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, exclusions and assumptions. As such, the pay ratio reported above may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.
