Notes

1.

For each year shown, the CEO was Mr. Lorenger. For 2023, the other NEOs were Mr. Bridges, Mr. Berger, Mr. Bradford, and Mr. Bullock. For 2022, the other NEOs were Mr. Bridges, Mr. Berger, Mr. Bradford, Mr. Bullock, and Mr. Tjaden. For 2021 and 2020, the other NEOs were Mr. Bridges, Mr. Berger, Mr. Bradford, and Mr. Tjaden. The values reflected in this column reflect the “Total” compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) for each applicable year. See the footnotes to the SCT for further detail regarding the amounts in this column.

2.

Calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Compensation actually paid (“CAP”) is defined by the SEC and is computed by subtracting the amounts in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the SCT for each year from the “Total” column of the SCT and then making the equity award adjustments described below, all of which are computed in a manner consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in the Company’s GAAP financial statements. The following tables reflect the adjustments made to SCT total compensation to compute CAP for the CEO and average CAP for the other NEOs.
