The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) for each of the fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and our financial performance for each such fiscal year:

(1)Amounts represent compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and the average compensation actually paid to our other named executive officers for the relevant fiscal year, as determined under SEC rules (and described below), which includes the individuals indicated in the table below for each fiscal year:

The amounts reported in the “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs” columns do not reflect the actual compensation paid to or realized by our PEO or our non-PEO NEOs during each applicable year. The calculation of compensation actually paid for purposes of this table includes point-in-time fair values of stock awards and these values will fluctuate based on our stock price, various accounting valuation assumptions and projected performance related to our performance awards. See the Summary Compensation Table for certain other compensation of our PEO and our non-PEO NEOs for each applicable fiscal year and the Options Exercised and Stock Vested table for the value realized by each of them upon the vesting of stock awards during 2025.

Compensation actually paid to our NEOs represents the "Total" compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, as adjusted as follows:

(1) Adjustments include the following assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the awards at each valuation date in accordance with Topic 718:

•For awards of time-based RSUs, adjustments reflected are based on the fair value of the awards as of the applicable valuation date calculated by multiplying the change in stock price at each fiscal year end presented by the number of shares of restricted stock outstanding on such valuation date.

•For the performance-based RSUs, adjustments reflected are based on the fair value of the awards as of the applicable valuation date calculated by multiplying the stock price at each fiscal year end by the number of performance-based RSUs outstanding and by the estimated probability of achieving the performance target that was used to calculate our Topic 718 expense for each fiscal year.

•Discussion of the assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs is set forth in Note 10 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2026.

(2) For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR (the “Peer Group TSR”) for the following companies, which represent the peer group of companies used by us for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act in the our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025: AAR Corp., AeroVironment Inc., CACI International Inc., Ducommun Inc., Frequency Electronics Inc., Leidos Holdings Inc., Mercury Systems Inc. and Parsons Corp.
