EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES AND METHODS

| Shareholder engagement and responsiveness | | | Independent members of the Board and Investor Relations regularly engage in investor outreach. With regard to executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has addressed shareholder feedback and made changes to compensation for fiscal 2023, including: •Upon hire, set the CEO's total direct compensation below the market median of our peers. In connection with his contract extension, Mr. Iger’s target bonus increased to 500% of base salary, in order to align his target total direct compensation with the median. •Utilized the structure of 60% of the CEO’s fiscal 2023 equity award as performance-based restricted stock units (“PBUs”), in response to feedback to prioritize pay for performance. •As financial uncertainties related to the pandemic have decreased, the portion of fiscal 2023 PBUs vesting subject to return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance have a single 3-year performance period. In fiscal 2020 - 2022, PBUs vesting subject to ROIC performance had three 1-year performance periods. •For the fiscal 2023 annual bonus plan, significantly increased the required adjusted revenue, adjusted segment operating income and adjusted after-tax free cash flow amounts to achieve target-level payouts year-over-year. Specifically, targets were raised 10%, 35% and more than 100%, respectively. In addition, performance ranges were adjusted to further incentivize performance. •The Compensation Committee adopted a cash severance policy pursuant to which any cash severance payment will not exceed 2.99 times the sum of base salary plus target bonus for Section 16 officers without shareholder approval of such payment. | | |

| Shareholder engagement and responsiveness | | Investor Relations and members of the Board regularly engage in investor outreach. With regard to executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has addressed shareholder feedback and made changes to compensation for fiscal 2022, including: • Utilized the structure of 50% of the CEO’s fiscal 2022 equity award as performance-based restricted stock units (“PBUs”), in response to feedback to prioritize pay for performance. • Increased PBUs from 30% to 50% of the overall long-term incentive grant value for the NEOs other than the CEO. • Increased the rigor of the test for the total shareholder return (“TSR”) portion of PBUs by setting target performance at the 55th percentile of the S&P 500 companies, an increase from the 50th percentile, with maximum payout at 200% of target. • For the fiscal 2022 annual bonus plan, significantly increased the required revenue and operating income amounts to achieve target-level payouts year-over-year. |

CHANGES FOR FISCAL 2023
| On November 20, 2022, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Iger and he was appointed as CEO. In connection with the agreement, Mr. Iger’s annual base salary was set at $1,000,000 and he is eligible for an annual bonus determined through financial and individual performance objectives with a target of 100% of base salary (up to a maximum of 200%). Mr. Iger’s annual long-term incentive grant target is $25,000,000 and will have the following vehicle mix: 60% PBUs and 40% stock options. The PBUs have a 2-year performance period aligned with the term of his employment agreement. The Committee determined that Mr. Iger’s interest in the value of his existing equity holdings aligned with his mandate to develop a long-term successor by 2024. The Committee also evaluated the long-term incentive structure of the CEO and NEOs’ executive compensation programs. Starting in fiscal 2020, 50% of PBUs were eligible to vest based on return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance. While the initial intent was to set a full 3-year ROIC goal, due to challenges in forecasting posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, ROIC goals have been set and measured each year of the 3-year performance period for grants made in fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2022. In November 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that long-term incentive grants made in fiscal 2023 (i.e., in December 2022) will utilize a full 3-year goal for the ROIC portion of PBUs, excluding Mr. Iger’s long-term incentive grant, which will have a 2-year performance period to reflect his 2-year employment term. | | Increase to 60% Performance-Based Units for the CEO | | |
| | Return to full 3-year Return On Invested Capital goal for other NEOs | | | |
The following charts show the percentage of the target total direct annual compensation for first, Mr. Chapek, and second, all NEOs other than Mr. Chapek and Mr. Iger, that varies with performance and equity versus being fixed with respect to fiscal 2022.
This shift reflects a meaningful increase in at-risk compensation, as evidenced by the actual results realized with respect to recent PBU grants.
The fiscal 2022 ROIC test had a threshold, target and maximum of 1.6%, 4.1% and 5.4% respectively.
Actual fiscal 2022 ROIC performance was just under 5.4%, which resulted in 148% payout for the fiscal 2022 portion of the ROIC test, which is being assessed for outstanding PBU grants made in December 2019 and 2020.
As the maximum payout for fiscal 2022 PBU awards increased to 200% of target, ROIC performance of approximately 5.4% resulted in a 196% payout for the fiscal 2022 ROIC portion of grants made in December 2021.
The Compensation Committee believes this PBU structure strongly aligns pay and performance, which is underscored by the decision to further increase the weighting of PBUs for other NEOs.
These decisions were made taking into consideration the results of the most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation.
Based on the results of the advisory vote on executive compensation, members of management and the Board engaged in extensive outreach to shareholders.
