(1) The amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table total compensation figures for Jonathan H. Weis, our principal executive officer (“PEO”), for each of the years listed. The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the Summary Compensation Table total average compensation is presented are: for 2024, Michael T. Lockard, R. Gregory Zeh Jr., David W. Gose II, and Robert G. Gleeson; for 2023, Kurt A. Schertle, Michael T. Lockard, R. Gregory Zeh Jr. and Harold G. Graber; for 2022, Kurt A. Schertle, Michael T. Lockard, Harold G. Graber, and David W. Gose II; and for 2021 and 2020, Kurt A. Schertle, Scott F. Frost, Harold G. Graber, and David W. Gose II.

(2) The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually realized or received by such persons. These amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above for each year.  None of the adjustments required by Item 402(v) are applicable to the Company.

(3) This column shows Company Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and peer group TSR on a cumulative basis for each year of the five-year period from 2020 through 2024. For purposes of this disclosure, the updated peer group consists of the updated peer group used for our stock performance graph, as presented in Item 5 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The companies making up the updated peer group, in no particular order, are Ingles Markets, Inc.; Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V., added for the year ending December 28, 2024; Village Super Market, Inc.; SpartanNash Co., added for the year ending December 28, 2024; Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and The Kroger Company. Smart & Final Stores has been removed from the updated peer group due to the acquisition of the company by Apollo Global Management, LLC in June 2019. The updated peer group is made up of six retail grocers that the Company feels most closely relate to its size and business profile, including one national grocer the Company believes to be an industry market leader. Dollar values assume $100 was invested for the cumulative period from fiscal year

2020 through fiscal year 2024, in either the Company or the peer group, and reinvestment of the pre-tax value of dividends paid. Had the prior peer group for fiscal 2023 been used, peer group TSR for each of fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 would have been $110.27, $162.03, $165.30, $179.25, and $282.28. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
