### PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our CEO) and the annual total compensation of John Forsyth, our CEO. For fiscal year 2025:

• the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our CEO) was $176,289; and

• the annual total compensation of our CEO was $9,852,387 (as reflected in the Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement).

• Based on this information, the annual total compensation of our CEO was estimated to be 55.9 times that of the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our CEO).

We believe this ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Different companies may use different methodologies in arriving at a pay ratio, and as a result, these ratios are not necessarily designed to facilitate comparisons among different companies. Rather, they allow stockholders to better understand and assess each particular company’s internal compensation practices.

#### Identifying the Median Employee
We identified our median employee by considering our employee population as of the last day of our fiscal year, March 29, 2025. We considered all employees at our consolidated subsidiaries and all worldwide employees other than our CEO, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal basis. For purposes of selecting our median employee, we used a consistently applied compensation measure that included (1) base pay during fiscal year 2025 using salary or base pay rate as of March 29, 2025, (2) all cash bonuses earned during fiscal year 2025, and (3) the aggregate full grant date fair value of equity awards granted during fiscal year 2025, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Compensation paid in foreign currencies was converted to U.S. dollars based on the average monthly exchange rate for March, 2025. For employees who were employed for less than the full fiscal year, we annualized their base pay. The value of the Company’s retirement/401(k) plan and medical benefits provided was excluded, as all employees in a given jurisdiction are offered the same benefits, and we did not make any cost-of
