(1) Variances in the salary column versus annual base salary rate are a result of the timing of paychecks issued in a given fiscal year.
(2) Represents the grant date fair value of PSU and RSU awards granted in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, as calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 by multiplying the closing price of our stock on the trading day prior to the grant date of the awards (as determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) by the number of units granted. The number of PSUs and RSU awards granted is determined by dividing the total monetary value of each award by the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the grant date, rounding down to the nearest whole share.
(3) The amounts in the stock awards column include the fair market value of PSU awards assuming probable achievement of the performance goal at target levels resulting in the following fair market values for the PSU awards: Ms. Alber – $11,999,865 (fiscal 2025), $8,999,982 (fiscal 2024) and $7,999,913 (fiscal 2023); Mr. Howie - $1,749,914 (fiscal 2025), $1,749,770 (fiscal 2024) and $1,399,904 (fiscal 2023); Ms. Bhargava – $1,499,966 (fiscal 2025) and $1,499,893 (fiscal 2024); Mr. King – $749,983 (fiscal 2025), $749,946 (fiscal 2024) and $599,925 (fiscal 2023); and Ms. Yearout – $749,983 (fiscal 2025), $749,946 (fiscal 2024) and $374,983 (fiscal 2023). Assuming maximum achievement of the performance goal, the fair market value of those PSUs would be: Ms. Alber – $35,999,594 (fiscal 2025), $26,999,947 (fiscal 2024) and $23,999,740 (fiscal 2023); Mr. Howie – $5,249,741 (fiscal 2025), $5,249,311 (fiscal 2024) and $4,199,713 (fiscal 2023); Ms. Bhargava – $4,499,897 (fiscal 2025) and $4,499,678 (fiscal 2024); Mr. King – $2,249,949 (fiscal 2025), $2,249,839 (fiscal 2024) and $1,799,775 (fiscal 2023); and Ms. Yearout – $2,249,949 (fiscal 2025), $2,249,839 (fiscal 2024) and $1,124,949 (fiscal 2023).
