The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the average compensation is presented in this table are: for 2024, Joseph Sieve and Caroline Miller Oyler; for 2023, Ravi Thanawala, Amanda M. Clark, Caroline Miller Oyler, Christopher K. Collins and Ann B. Gugino; for 2022, Ann B. Gugino, C. Max Wetzel, Caroline Miller Oyler, and Amanda M. Clark; for 2021, Ann B. Gugino, C.

Peer Group Issuers, Footnote
4The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the group of U.S. companies listed on NASDAQ with standard industry classification codes of: Eating and Drinking (SIC 5800-5899) (the “Peer Group TSR”), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 29, 2019, through the end of the listed year, in the Company and the Peer Group TSR, respectively. All dollar values assume reinvestment of the pre-tax value of dividends paid by companies, where applicable. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
