 amounts awarded to Messrs. Millerchip, Galanti, Miller, Riel, and Polit were 6,268, 5,937, 4,654, 4,654, and 4,219. Performance-based RSU levels increased 3% for Messrs. Galanti, Miller, Riel, and Polit, based on the closing share price at the time of the grant. Mr. Millerchip received an award in the previous year for five months of service with the Company and he received a full award this year. While this represents a 100% increase, if he received a full award last year, the increase would have been 3%, consistent with all others. The amounts awarded were based on the recommendations of Mr. Vachris and approved by the Committee before the grants. The performance criteria were, as noted above, exceeded, and the Named Executive Officers earned all of the RSUs granted, with accelerated-vesting for long service and further time-based vesting.

Salaries for other Named Executive Officers were based upon the recommendation of Mr. Vachris, who focused on the amount of increase deserved over the prior year’s salary level. Base salary levels for these officers increased between 2% and 5% over the previous fiscal year.

Other Named Executive Officers received cash bonuses of $200,000. The potential bonus amount was $232,000, which did not change from last year. This amount included $80,000 based on the achievement of targets relating to net sales and $80,000 based on the achievement of targets relating to pre-tax income. The potential payment attributable to each of these performance goals was from zero up to 120% of the

Up to $40,000 in potential related to environmental and social objectives: $24,000 relating to achievement of quantitative performance metrics, including environmental and human capital metrics, on an all or nothing basis depending upon whether a majority of the quantitative metrics were satisfied; and up to $16,000 based on discretionary assessment by the Chief Executive Officer of the officer's environmental and social achievements (including, without limitation, progress in controlling emissions). For fiscal 2025, the pre-tax income component of the bonus earned was $80,000, based on the Company's achieving 101.3% of the pre-tax profit target. The net sales component of the bonus earned was $80,000, based on the Company's achieving
