relate. The amounts in this column include all dividend equivalents declared from 2022 through 2024 attributable to the awards (including the fourth quarter dividend declared on October 9, 2024 to shareholders of record on December 13, 2024, which was paid on January 8, 2025).

(3) On July 25, 2024, Mr. Garratt retired from the Company. In consideration of Mr. Garratt's contributions to the Company, and in exchange for a release of claims from Mr. Garratt, an extension of Mr. Garratt's post-employment non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for an additional year, and his commitment to provide transition support to the Company, Mr. Garratt’s outstanding and unvested long-term incentive awards were modified to waive the continued employment requirements for such awards (rather than having such awards continue to vest on just a pro-rata basis); such awards were otherwise governed by the standard terms of each award and tax code requirements, including any performance criteria. For details regarding the modified awards, refer to the 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table of this proxy statement. Mr. Garratt retained his vested equity awards upon his retirement, which were then governed by the standard terms of each award.
