(4) The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Electronic Components Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Electronic Components Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

(5) We determined Revenue to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. This performance measure may not have been the most

important financial performance measure for previous years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	Equity Award Grant Timing Practices We have no practice or policy of coordinating or timing the release of the Company information around the grant date of our annual long-term incentive equity compensation, and we have not timed the disclosure of material non-public information for the purposes of affecting the value of executive compensation. Our long-term incentive equity awards are typically granted annually in mid-February. On occasion, we grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes. These “off cycle” awards are granted only on a limited basis. While stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") are permitted forms of awards under the Company's Equity Compensation Plan, we generally do not (and did not, during 2024) grant stock options or SARs.
