Item 5. Other Information

Insider Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, except for Ms. Marks, our Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in Regulation S-K. On July 28, 2023, Ms. Marks adopted a trading plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c). Under this plan, the shares received by Ms. Marks upon the vesting of the performance stock units ("PSUs") granted to her by the Company on February 5, 2021 (after giving effect to tax withholding and a previous election to defer 50% of the PSU shares earned) will be sold at the market price so long as the

Company’s common stock is trading at or above a limit price. The plan will terminate at the close of business on the day the shares become available for sale even if the Company’s common stock is trading below the limit price and the shares are not sold. We expect that the plan will terminate in early February 2024, shortly after the date the PSUs are expected to vest.

The number of shares that may be sold by Ms. Marks upon vesting of the PSUs will depend upon the Company’s achievement of the underlying financial performance goals and the application of a multiplier factor based on our relative total shareowner return over the 2021-2023 performance period, and can range from 0 to 200% of the sum of the target PSUs granted plus additional PSUs credited for dividend equivalents. Ms. Marks was granted 65,355 “target” PSUs on February 5, 2021. However, because Ms. Marks previously elected to defer receipt of 50% of the PSUs to be earned under our PSU Deferral Plan, the number of shares delivered to her at vesting and available for sale will be accordingly reduced. Assuming the shares are sold under the plan, we estimate, based on our projected performance against the underlying financial performance goals, our relative total shareholder return through the last trading day of the quarter ending September 30, 2023, current tax withholding rates, future crediting of dividend equivalents assuming our current dividend remains unchanged and a stock price of $80.31 (the closing price of our stock on the last trading day of the quarter ending September 30, 2023), and Ms. Marks election to defer 50% of the PSUs, that 37,080 shares could be sold under the plan.
