These disclosures have been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act (the "Pay versus Performance Rules") and do not necessarily reflect how the Committee evaluates compensation decisions. "Compensation actually paid" does not reflect the value of cash or shares of the Company's common stock received by a NEO during the year, but rather is an amount calculated under SEC rules to include, among other things, year-over-year changes in the value of unvested equity-based awards. To calculate "compensation actually paid", adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year in accordance with the disclosure rules. For the purposes of calculating "compensation actually paid", the fair value of equity awards is calculated using the same valuation methodologies used to calculate the grant date fair value of awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for the purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, and, where applicable, may incorporate adjustments for year-end forecasted attainment levels for performance achievement goals. As a result of the calculation methodology required by the SEC, the amounts shown below as "compensation actually paid" differ from the compensation actually received by our NEOs, and from the decisions of the Committee described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.</div>Mr. Halftermeyer received a negative change in pension value in 2024; according to SEC guidelines, the value is incorporated into Summary Compensation Table calculations but is not included for purposes of aggregating the Compensation Actually Paid.For the relevant year, represents the cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) for the Company for the measurement period.
