Footnotes from the filing
On April 8, 2026, the Reporting Person was granted Earnings Per Share Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units ("EPSRSUs") in the target number of 3,339 shares, the vesting of which is subject to the sum of Earnings Per Share ("EPS") for fiscal years ending January 31, 2027, 2028 and 2029 compared to target compounded growth EPS amounts based on the sum of EPS for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The pay-out ratio of the target number of 3,339 shares, ranging from 0% to 200%, will depend on the degree of achievement of the EPS ranking at the end of the three-year performance period.
