The peer group for this purpose is the S&P 500 Financials index used for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation

S-K.

The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting September 29, 2020, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Financials index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

(5)

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and associated guidance, “Net Income” represents GAAP Net Income for purposes of the pay versus performance disclosure. In contrast, as discussed above under the heading “Annual Incentive Plan” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the net income metric that we used for our annual incentive plan was Net Income Growth-VIP adjusted.

(6)

We determined EPS, as adjusted for purposes of performance share awards, to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. See the

Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Performance Shares – EPS Goals

in this proxy statement for a description of adjustments from GAAP EPS for purposes of performance share awards granted to the NEOs. EPS – PS adjusted may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal years 2022 and 2021, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
