Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive "compensation actually paid" (CAP, as computed in accordance with SEC rules) and certain financial performance metrics of the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s pay for performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of CAP. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or realized by or paid to an NEO during the applicable year. In accordance with SEC rules, the following adjustments were made to the PEO's total compensation, as reported in the "Summary Compensation Table," to determine the PEO's CAP:

Cumulative TSR is based on a fixed investment of $100 in the Company's common stock measured from the beginning of the measurement period (November 27, 2020) through and including the end of each applicable fiscal year. Return includes (a) the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (b) the difference between the Company's share price at the end of each applicable year and the beginning of the measurement period.

(6)	Represents the peer group cumulative TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each measurement period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the Dow Jones U.S. Specialty Chemicals Index.

(7)	The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

(8)

The Compensation Committee has selected Adjusted EBITDA as the Company-Selected Measure representing the most important financial measure used to link CAP to the NEOs in fiscal 2024 to Company performance. Adjusted EBITDA is, when combined with the derivative Adjusted EBITDA Margin, the most heavily-weighted metric of our STIP metrics, and under our pay-for-performance approach the STIP represents a significant portion of the NEOs’ compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure defined in "Fiscal 2024 Short-Term Incentive Compensation." See “Annex A” for information concerning this measure including a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Description of Certain Relationships

The graphs below compare the CAP to our President and CEO and the average of the CAP to our other NEOs, with (i) our cumulative TSR, (ii) our net income, and (iii) our Adjusted EBITDA, in each case for our 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 fiscal years. The graphs below also compare our cumulative TSR and our peer group cumulative TSR for our 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 fiscal years. TSR amounts assume $100 invested on November 27, 2020 and reinvestment of dividends.
