Adjustment to Non-PEO NEO Compensation Footnote The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the average amount of “Compensation Actually Paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding our current and former CEO) for 2026, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding our CEO) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Lewis and Mr. Carpenter) for fiscal 2026 to determine the average Compensation Actually Paid, using the
same methodology described above in footnote 2. For purposes of awards that provide for continued vesting upon a non-CEO NEO’s retirement, the awards are not treated as vested until the award's scheduled vesting date.
For 2026, average compensation actually paid for the year for Non-CEO NEOs was impacted by a modification of unvested stock options for Mr. Dahlgren that provided for continued vesting after termination of employment, resulting in incremental fair value recognized under ASC 718, which is reflected in the change in fair value in the table below.
