(1) The material terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan are described in the narrative below. Executive contributions by Mr. Van Saun in the last fiscal year include the deferred portion of his 2024 variable compensation paid in cash during 2024 ($1,295,375, which is included in the “Bonus” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table ). Mr. Van Saun’s aggregate balance at last fiscal year-end includes $17,129,426, which has been reported as compensation in summary compensation tables for previous years. Mr. Coughlin had no contributions during the last fiscal year. Mr. Coughlin’s aggregate balance at last fiscal year-end includes $12,500 that was reported as compensation in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table.

(2) For Messrs. Van Saun and Coughlin, the amounts in this column reflect the earnings on their deferred compensation plan accounts during 2024.

We sponsor the Deferred Compensation Plan, which does not offer any matching contributions or provide for above- market earnings. During 2024, Mr. Van Saun was the only NEO who contributed to the plan, and he elected to defer 50% of the cash portion of his 2024 cash variable compensation award.

Plan eligibility is limited to colleagues who have total compensation equal to or exceeding the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit for the relevant plan year. Participants
