Named Executive Officers, Footnote

Each executive that has served the Company as CEO during the last four fiscal years is displayed individually in the table above. John Ratigan has served as our CEO since March 13, 2024, following Ken Peterman who served as our CEO from August 10, 2022 to March 12, 2024, preceded by Michael Porcelain, who served as CEO from December 31, 2021, to August 9, 2022, and Fred Kornberg, who served as our CEO from 1976 until December 31, 2021. While Mr. Porcelain served as a non-CEO NEO in FY2021 as a CEO, his individual compensation amounts are not incorporated into the table above for FY2021 since he did not hold the position of CEO during that fiscal year. The amounts for “Average SCT Total for Non-CEO NEOs” and the “Average CAP to Non-CEO NEOs” for fiscal year 2023 were revised from the corresponding amounts reported in the prior year’s proxy statement, which were revised slightly to align with the final disclosed SCT figures. Average Non-CEO NEOs for each year include:

-FY2024: Michael Bondi, Maria Hedden, Don Walther, Jeffery Robertson

-FY2023: Michael Bondi, Maria Hedden, Don Walther, Nancy Stallone

-FY2022: Michael Bondi, Maria Hedden, Nancy Stallone, Yelena Simonyuk

-FY2021: Michael Bondi, Nancy Stallone, Yelena Simonyuk, Michael Porcelain

Additional 402(v) Disclosure

The following summarizes the valuation assumptions used for stock option awards included as part of Compensation Actually Paid:

-Expected life of each stock option is based on the “simplified method” using an average of the remaining vest and remaining term, as of the vest/fiscal year end date.

-Strike price is based on each grant date closing price and asset price is based on each vest/fiscal year end closing price.

-Risk free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity rate closest to the remaining expected life as of the vest/fiscal year end date.

-Historical volatility is based on daily price history for each expected life (years) prior to each vest/fiscal year end date. Closing prices provided by S&P Capital IQ are adjusted for dividends and splits.

-Represents annual dividend yield on each vest/fiscal year end date.
