Following this date, Mr. Guthrie will continue his employment into fiscal 2026 as a senior advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to ensure a smooth transition. Mr. Guthrie currently satisfies the applicable retirement criteria under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, and therefore will be entitled to the continued vesting of outstanding equity awards as previously disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2025.
