The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table total with certain adjustments as described in footnote (3) below.

(3)

Compensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with ASC 718. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards and Option Awards column are the totals from the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. To calculate Compensation Actually Paid, the totals included in the Exclusion of Stock Awards and Option Awards column were subtracted and the totals in the Inclusion of Equity Values column were added to the Summary Compensation Table Total for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs.

The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P Composite 1500 Restaurants Sub-Index (“Index”), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in the 2025 10-K. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting January 3, 2021, through the end of the listed year in the Company’s common stock and in the Index, respectively. TSR is calculated by 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 the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The TSRs included herein have been slightly modified from the prior year disclosure to reflect the market close on December 31, 2020 (the beginning of the measurement period). Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

(5)

We determined Incentive Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs in fiscal 2025. Incentive Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Segment Income as defined by the Company under Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, less corporate administrative costs that have not been allocated to a reportable segment including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs, subject to certain additional adjustments as detailed under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Components of Total Direct Compensation—Annual Performance Incentives” above. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal year 2021 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR

The following chart sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs, the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our Non-PEO NEOs, and the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five most recently completed fiscal years and also compares our cumulative TSR over the five most recently completed fiscal years to that of the S&P Composite 1500 Restaurant Sub-Index TSR over the same period.

The following chart sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our Non-PEO NEOs, and our Incentive Adjusted EBITDA during the five most recently completed fiscal years.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

Cumulative TSR of the Company and Cumulative TSR of the Peer Group

The Company’s cumulative TSR over the five-year period presented in the table was approximately 18.2%, while the cumulative TSR of the peer group presented for this purpose, the S&P Composite 1500 Restaurants Sub-Index, was approximately 37.5% over this same period. The Company’s cumulative TSR underperformed the S&P Composite 1500 Restaurants Sub-Index during the period presented in the table, representing the Company’s underperformance as compared to the companies comprising the S&P Composite 1500 Restaurants Sub-Index comparison group in certain years in the period, but still grew positively in 2025 and corresponded with a significant return to growth and a return to the Company’s historical strong operating performance. For more information regarding the Company’s performance and the companies that the Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers when determining compensation, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
