Additional 402(v) Disclosure Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to: (1) for RSU awards, closing price of our Class A Stock on applicable year-end dates or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price; (2) for PSU awards, the same valuation methodology as RSU awards above except year-end and vesting date values are multiplied by the probability of achievement or actual results, as applicable, as of each such date and, for PSU awards with market-based conditions, the probability is determined based on the outcome of a Monte Carlo simulation; and (3) for NQSOs, the fair value calculated based on the outcome of a Monte Carlo simulation as of the applicable year-end or vesting date(s), determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair values (but using a Monte Carlo simulation instead of a Black-Scholes pricing model as was used on the grant date), the closing price of our Class A Stock on the applicable revaluation date as the current market price as of the revaluation date, and in all cases determined using assumptions and inputs consistent with those found in Note 19 of our financial statements in our 2026 Form 10-K.TSR is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100.Net income (loss) as reported in our 2026 Form 10-K in accordance with GAAP.Net Sales was selected as our CSM because management believes it is the most important annual financial performance measure used to link executive pay and Company performance in Fiscal 2026. Net Sales is one of the three performance metrics used under our AMIP, is also discussed under the heading above entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” and is defined as GAAP net sales as reported in our 2026 Form 10-K.
