#### Grant Date Fair Value
The amounts shown in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of awards of RSUs and MSUs, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. Assumptions used in the calculations of MSUs amounts are included in Notes 1 and 10 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. There is no assurance that the grant date fair value amounts will be realized. The RSUs are time-based awards and are not subject to performance conditions. Amounts for MSUs represent the estimate of the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the three-year performance period determined as of the grant date. For MSU awards granted in February 2024, the actual number of shares that will be paid out will depend on our stock price performance relative to the performance of the Nasdaq Composite Index over the three-year performance period, up to a maximum of 250% of the number of target shares.

#### Timing of Equity Grants
Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee, in consultation with management, our independent auditors and legal counsel, has adopted the following practices on equity compensation awards:

• Consistent with the policy described in the paragraph below, all awards of equity compensation for new employees (other than new members of executive management) are made on the first day of the month for those employees who started during the period between the 16 th day of the month that is two months prior to the grant date and the 15 th day of the month prior to the month of the grant date. For example, May 1, 2024, grants will cover new hires starting between March 16, 2024 and April 15, 2024; and

• Annual incentive grants are made on or about the same day for all employees (including members of executive management); in each of 2024, 2023, and 2022 such date was February 20. The Committee sets the actual grant date approximately one week following approval of the size of each grant in order to provide management with adequate time to inform each employee individually of their grant.
