Performance Measures. Listed below are the financial and non-financial performance measures which in our assessment represent the most important financial performance measures we use to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers, for 2024, to Company performance.

| Measure                         |     | How We Used the Measure                                                                            |
| Adjusted Operating Profit (AOP) |     | Metric in VIP and Strategic Performance Awards                                                     |
| Adjusted Free Cash Flow         |     | Metric in VIP                                                                                      |
| Stock Price                     |     | Used to determine exercise price of stock options and ultimate realized value of all equity awards |

Relationship Between Pay and Performance.“Compensation actually paid” ( “CAP”), as required under SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the table based on stock prices at year-end, variousaccounting valuation assumptions and other adjustments, but does not reflect actual amounts realized on those awards. CAP generally fluctuates primarily based on stock price, even for equity awards that will not vest until a future year. As a result, CAP may have a relationship to TSR and our performance against peer group TSR. Although AOP is a metric in our annual VIP cash bonuses, it may have less of a relationship to CAP because of the impact of stock price on equity award valuations. Net income is not a metric currently used in our compensation program. For a discussion of how our Compensation Committee assessed Company performance and our named executive officers’ compensation, see “ Compensation Discussion and Analysis” elsewhere in this proxy statement. See the graphs below for further information on the relationship between CAP and performance.
