The amounts shown as Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation

S-K

and do not reflect the total compensation actually realized or re

cei

ved by the Company’s NEOs. In accordance with these rules, these amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for each year, adjusted as shown below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of the grant.

Amounts in these columns assume $100 was invested for the cumulative period from December 31, 2019 through the end of the listed fiscal year, in either the Company’s common stock or the S&P 500 Health Care Index (the Company’s peer group), as applicable, and reinvestment of the

value of dividends paid. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

We determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and other NEOs in 2024, consistent with 2023. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior fiscal years, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA, a

non-GAAP

measure, is defined in Appendix A, and reconciliations of this

non-GAAP

financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure may be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for each of Fiscal Years 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Award Timing Disclosure	12 Months Ended
Award Timing Disclosure	Dec. 31, 2024
Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	Equity Grant Timing and Stock Option Exercise Prices Historically, we have made annual equity awards to NEOs and other employees during the first quarter of the year in connection with annual executive compensation decisions. In accordance with the terms of our equity plans, the grant date of these awards is the date the HR Committee approves the grant, which usually occurs at a meeting scheduled more than one year in advance. We may occasionally grant equity awards to newly hired employees, employees who have been promoted, or for special recognition, retention or other purposes outside of the annual grant process. For equity grants awarded outside of the annual grant cycle, the grant date generally is the first or 15th day of the month following hire or approval (or, if such date is not a trading day, the following date that is a trading day). The exercise price for all stock options generally equals (and will be no less than) the NYSE closing price per share of our common stock on the date of grant or on the immediately preceding trading day if the date of grant is not a trading day. No stock options were granted during 2024. HR Committee approval is required in all cases where the recipient of an equity grant is a NEO or other senior officer. The HR Committee did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation in 2024.
