**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.** 

On March 23, 2023, the Board's Compensation and Human Resources Committee ("Committee"), in connection with its annual review of the Company's executive officers' compensation, considered the compensation of the Company's CEO, John Forsyth, and approved, effective fiscal year 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 4% increase in Mr. Forsyth's annual base salary from $700,000 to $728,000; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in Mr. Forsyth's semiannual target bonus under the Company's 2007 Management and Key Individual Contributor Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan") from 50% to 62.5% of his base annual salary.

A complete description of the Company's Incentive Plan is included in the Company's definitive proxy statement dated June 2, 2022.

With respect to applicable compensation market data developed by the Committee's external compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc., Mr. Forsyth's base salary of $728,000 falls at about the 50th percentile, and his resulting target total cash compensation of $1.638 million (which, pursuant to the Incentive Plan, reflects a cash bonus totaling 125% of his annual base salary) falls between the 25th and 50th percentiles.

The actions noted above were taken by the Committee in view of the Company's performance over the prior 12 months, Mr. Forsyth's performance, past salary adjustments, typical annual market adjustments, and the objective of setting target total cash compensation with reference to the 50th percentile of the applicable compensation market data, particularly as Mr. Forsyth has continued to gain additional experience in his role since being appointed as the Company's CEO in 2021.
