CEO Pay Ratio</div>

As required by applicable SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Jeffrey H. Jackson, our President and Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”).

For 2024, our last completed fiscal year:

the annual total compensation of our median employee was $68,218; and

the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included elsewhere in this proxy statement, was $2,663,940.

| Based on this information, for 2024 the ratio of the annual total compensation  
 of Jeffrey H. Jackson, our President and Chief Executive Officer, to the annual 
 total compensation of our median employee was approximately 39 to 1.            |

We took the following steps to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and our CEO.

We determined that, as of October 1, 2024, our employee population consisted of approximately 2,274 individuals. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees employed with us as of the determination date.

To identify the “median employee” from our employee population, we used the amount of “gross wages” for the identified employees as reflected in our payroll records for the nine-month period beginning January 1, 2024 and ending October 1, 2024. For gross wages, we generally used the total amount of compensation the employees were paid before any taxes, deductions, insurance premiums, and other payroll withholding. We did not use any statistical sampling techniques.

For the annual total compensation of our median employee, we identified and calculated the elements of that employee’s compensation for 2024 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x), resulting in annual total compensation of $68,298.

For the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2024 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.
