Peer Group Issuers, Footnote

Cumulative TSR is calculated by (i) dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by (ii) the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group for this purpose is the NASDAQ - 100 Technology Sector Index and is the same peer group used by the Company in the Stock Performance Graph in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 (the “Peer Group”).

Additional 402(v) Disclosure

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation program, the Company has determined that revenue is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link the CAP to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year. The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of revenue reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.
