 total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees except our CEO was 354:1. |

We determined that, as of January 1, 2025, our employee population consisted of approximately 73,000 individuals. Approximately 90% of our employees work outside the U.S., with workforce hubs in India, Poland, Brazil, Japan, Czechia and Hungary. SEC rules permit the identification of our median employee once every three years provided there has been no change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure. Accordingly, we have calculated our disclosure based on the median employee identified as of January 1, 2023. For details on our process for identifying the median employee, please see “CEO Pay Ratio” in our annual Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on June 14, 2023.
