### NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
We have an Executive Savings Plan, or ESP, which is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan available to key employees and our directors. Under the ESP, our NEOs and other eligible Associates can elect to defer up to 20% of base salary and up to 100% of any MIP and LRPIP awards and our directors can elect to defer annual retainers. Our NEOs (other than Ms. Meyrowitz) were eligible during FY25 to receive matching credits on base salary deferrals of up to 10% of base salary, with the level of matching credits generally based on the executive’s job level, age, and/or pension eligibility, and were fully vested in their ESP employer credit accounts during FY25 under plan terms. Eligible participants are also entitled to supplemental employer credits. For calendar 2024, the potential match was a percentage ( 150 % for Mr. Herrman, and 100 % for Mr. Klinger, Mr. Mizzi, and Mr. Canestrari) of eligible deferrals under ESP, plus an additional performance-based match (up to 200% for Mr. Herrman, and up to 150% for Mr. Klinger, Mr. Mizzi, and Mr. Canestrari) based on FY25 MIP performance results.

Our NEOs (other than Ms. Meyrowitz) earned an additional performance-based match under ESP at the maximum level, based on FY25 performance results under our MIP. All amounts deferred or credited to a participant’s account under the ESP are notionally invested in mutual funds or other market investments selected by the participant. Although not required by the ESP, it has been our practice to purchase the investments notionally invested under the participants’ accounts to help meet our future obligations under the ESP.

Under the ESP, amounts deferred (and earnings on those amounts) are generally distributed following termination of employment unless the participant has elected an earlier distribution date, which may be no earlier than January 1st of the second year following the year of the deferral. Vested employer matching credits (and earnings
