#### CEO Pay Ratio
Under rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to calculate and disclose the total compensation paid to our median paid employee, as well as the ratio of the total compensation paid to the median employee as compared to the total compensation paid to our Co-CEOs (the “CEO Pay Ratio”). The paragraphs that follow describe our methodology and the resulting CEO Pay Ratio.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

#### Measurement Date
We identified the median employee using our employee population on November 1, 2024 (including all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis).

#### Consistently Applied Compensation Measure (CACM)
Under the relevant rules, we are required to identify the median employee by use of a “consistently applied compensation measure,” or CACM. We chose a CACM that closely approximates the annual target total direct compensation of our employees. Specifically, we identified the median employee by aggregating, for each employee: a) annual base pay, b) annual target cash incentive opportunity, and c) the estimated grant date fair value for equity awards granted as of November 1, 2024. In identifying the median employee, we converted compensation amounts paid in foreign currencies based on the applicable year-to-date average exchange rate as of November 1, 2024, and annualized the compensation values of individuals that joined our Company during 2024. We did not exclude workers in non-U.S. countries
