Footnote F1

The number of performance stock units ("PSUs") that vested was based on the Company's cumulative adjusted earnings per share for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The actual performance of $67.67 exceeded the maximum payout threshold of $66.46 and therefore yielded an award of 123% of target; including the reinvestment of dividends paid during such period, the award is 124.1% of target.

Footnote F2

Administrative error from 8/7/24 filing; previous holdings were ouverstated by 673 shares

Footnote F3

The number of PSUs that vested was based on the Company's achieving relative total shareholder returns for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025, compared to a defined peer group of companies. The Company's performance ranked in the 7th percentile of that group, yielding an award of 0%; including the reinvestment of dividends paid during such period, the award is 0% of target.

Footnote F4
