Additional 402(v) Disclosure

The 2024 Summary Compensation Table totals reported for the PEO and the average of the Non-PEO NEOs for each year were subject to the adjustments in the chart below per Item 402(v)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K to calculate “compensation actually paid.” In making such adjustments, 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. See the Pay versus performance table in the 2024 and 2023 proxy statements for the adjustments made to determine “compensation actually paid” for prior years.Reflects year-end value of an initial investment of $100 made on December 31, 2019. Metrics shown differ from net revenue under GAAP because they exclude the impact of currency translational and transactional activity related to foreign exchange rates and the related impact of our foreign exchange derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The currency impact is calculated by remeasuring the current period’s results using the prior period’s exchange rates for both the translational and transactional activity.
