Remarks: The Issuer's 2025 Performance Stock Unit Award Program ("2025 PSU Program") was designed to incentivize growth over a multi-year period. Under the 2025 PSU Program, performance is measured based on the Company's trailing four-quarter revenue through the end of fiscal 2027. The performance stock units ("PSUs") were granted based on a target number of shares and can be earned between 0-200 percent of target based on Company performance. The PSUs were structured into five tranches, each with different targets for trailing four-quarter U.S. GAAP revenue. Trailing four quarter U.S. GAAP revenue is measured as of the end of each financial quarter, commencing with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and continuing through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027. If none of the targets are achieved as of the end of fiscal 2027, the PSUs will not be earned and be forfeited. If the first three targets are achieved as of the end of fiscal 2027, the PSUs will be earned at 100 percent of target. If all five targets are achieved as of the end of fiscal 2027, the PSUs will be earned at 200 percent of target. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
