Performance Share Unit Awards Based on Return on Invested Capital

In March 2026, the Company granted PSUs to certain of its executive officers that vest based on the Company’s actual ROIC (as defined in the award agreement) over a three-year period concluding on December 31, 2028 as compared to a targeted ROIC (“2026 ROIC PSUs”). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that can be earned with respect to the 2026 ROIC PSUs ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of 2026 ROIC PSUs originally granted. The grant date fair value of these awards was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, assuming target achievement of the performance condition. Expense related to the 2026 ROIC PSUs is recognized based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are expected to be issued at the end of the measurement period, and such expense is reversed if the likelihood of achieving the performance condition decreases. The likelihood of achieving the performance conditions related to 2026 ROIC PSU awards was probable as of June 30, 2026.
