The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of “compensation actually paid,” as calculated in accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules. These dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation earned by or paid to our NEOs during the applicable year. For purposes of calculating “compensation actually paid,” the fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718 using the same assumption methodologies used to calculate the grant date fair value of awards for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table (please refer to Note 2 in “Executive Compensation of Executive Officers – Summary Compensation Table” for additional information).

In accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules, the Company and the Company’s peer group total shareholder return (the “Peer Group TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on September 28, 2019, through the end of the listed fiscal year. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table was determined using Dow Jones U.S. Non-durable Household Products Index, which we also use in preparing the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K for our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025.

We have determined that EBIT, which the Company defines for compensation purposes as earnings before interest, taxes and other income (expense), is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure used to link “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, for fiscal year 2025, to company performance (the “Company Selected Measure” as defined in the Pay Versus Performance Rules).
