Appendix A - Summary of Adjustments Related to the Annual Cash Bonus and Performance Award

Consistent with past practice, the Talent and Compensation Committee adjusted the reported financial results on which the 2024 annual cash bonus and the 2023-2024 performance awards were determined to eliminate the distorting effect of certain unusual items on incentive compensation performance measures. The adjustments were intended to:

•align award payments with the underlying performance of the core business

•avoid volatile, artificial inflation or deflation of awards due to unusual items during any year in the performance period, and, where relevant, the previous (comparator) year

•eliminate certain counterproductive short-term incentives—for example, incentives to refrain from acquiring new technologies, to defer disposing of underutilized assets, or to defer settling legacy legal proceedings to protect current bonus payments

•facilitate comparisons with peer companies

To ensure the integrity of the adjustments, the Talent and Compensation Committee reviews and approves adjustment guidelines at least annually. These guidelines are generally consistent with the company guidelines for reporting non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community, which are reviewed by the Audit Committee. The adjustments apply equally to income and expense items. The Talent and Compensation Committee reviews all adjustments and retains downward discretion (i.e., discretion to reduce compensation below the amounts that are yielded by the adjustment guidelines).
