#### Fiscal Year 2025 Compensation
Consistent with senior members of our financial staff, annual incentive compensation is the primary component of our NEOs’ compensation each year. The emphasis on incentive compensation for our NEOs reflects the Company’s philosophy that annual compensation for senior officers should be heavily tied to not only their personal performance, but the performance of the Company. Awards under our annual bonus program typically are paid in a combination of cash and either restricted or unrestricted shares of our Class B common stock. Following a review of full-year business and individual NEO performance, the Compensation Committee determined fiscal 2025 total salary and incentive compensation for each NEO as outlined in the table below.

| Named Executive Officer |     | Salary Paid During FY25 ($) |     | FY25 Incentive Paid in Cash ($) |     | FY25 Incentive Paid in Time-Based Shares ($) |     | FY25 Incentive Paid in Performance-Based Shares ($) |     | FY25 Total Salary and Incentive Compensation ($) |
| Scott J. Adelson        |     |                     500,000 |     |                       8,250,000 |     |                                    1,750
