1. This adjustment to the equity in Mr. Schulze's 401(k) account reflects the amount of equivalent shares added to the account as of March 30, 2026, ahead of the filing of the April 16, 2026 Form 4. An equivalent number of Shares held in the stock fund is calculated and included in quarterly statements by dividing its closing balance by the closing price of the Company's common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading date of the statement period. Equivalent shares are approximate, since in this Fund participants own units of a Fund that primarily invest in stock and a very small portion of cash.
2. The price reported is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $74.34 to $75.33, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
3. The price reported is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $75.34 to $76.32, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
4. The price reported is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $76.53 to $77.52, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
5. The price reported is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $77.53 to $78.05, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
6. This adjustment to the equity in Mr. Schulze's 401(k) account reflects the amount of equivalent shares added to the account as of May 28, 2026, ahead of the filing of the June 2, 2026 Form 4.
