2023, we used the following methodology and made the following material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates: • We identified our employee base as of December 30, 2023, the last day of our 2023 fiscal year. Our employee population as of that date consisted of 1,187 employees, including our chief executive officer. Excluding our chief executive officer, and excluding an additional total of 50 employees located in seven non-U.S. jurisdictions who represented approximately 4.2% of our total employee base of 1,187 employees as of December 30, 2023, the size of our employee base for purposes of determining our median employee was 1,137. The following number of employees in the following non-U.S. jurisdictions were excluded:

| Jurisdiction   | ​ | ​ | Headcount |   |    |   | ​ |
| Australia      | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ |  2 | ​ | ​ |
| Belgium        | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ | 26 | ​ | ​ |
| Brazil         | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ |  6 | ​ | ​ |
| Czech Republic | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ |  1 | ​ | ​ |
| France         | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ |  3 | ​ | ​ |
| Norway         | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ |  1 | ​ | ​ |
| Switzerland    | ​ | ​ | ​         | ​ | 11 | ​ | ​ |

• We identified our median employee using a consistently applied compensation measure of 2023 taxable income, as determined in the applicable jurisdiction. Compensation paid in currencies other than U.S. dollars was converted into U.S. dollars using the following 2023 full-year exchange rates: • British pound to U.S. dollar: 1.2437 • the euro to U.S. dollar: 1.0815 • the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar: 0.7411
