The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Materials Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Materials Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

5.

We determined EBITDA Delivered to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2023. EBITDA Delivered is a non-GAAP measure. For more information on EBITDA Delivered, please see the “2023 Short-Term Incentive Plan” section of the Compensation Discussion & Analysis in this proxy statement. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior years, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
