Peer Group Issuers, Footnote

(4)For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company updated its peer group from the peer group utilized during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company utilized a compensation consultant, FW Cook, to determine its peer group and noted that, due to the changes the Company experienced in addition to changes in ownership of some of the companies within the 2023 peer group, the peer group needed to be updated to more accurately reflect the Company's operational structure and results. The new Peer Group TSR displayed is therefore different from our prior year Proxy statement. The old Peer Group TSR presented for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 were $182.96, $185.83, $125.24, and $92.91, respectively.

(z) performance-conditioned stock awards, the closing price of the Common Stock on the applicable measurement date and the probability of achievement of the applicable performance goals on the applicable measurement date. For stock options, the fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model.
