    ________________
    (1)Consists of discretionary bonuses paid to each NEO to reflect overall company performance during 2024. These bonuses were paid in the first quarter of 2025. In connection with discretionary bonuses paid to our NEOs, the Company obtained those executives’ agreement to repay a portion of such cash bonuses to the Company should they resign from employment for any reason, breach their restrictive covenants to the Company, or be terminated for “cause,” as follows: (1) if the repayment event occurs within one year following the bonus payment, the executive will repay 50% of the bonus, and (2) if the repayment event occurs more than one year, but within two years, following the bonus payment, the executive will repay 25% of the bonus.
    (2)Reflects amounts payable based on the achievement of the pre-established performance targets for 2024 subject to pro rata adjustment for all NEOs to reflect the disposition of our operations in Europe to WH Group Ltd.
    (3)Amounts in this column represent the aggregate increase, if any, of the accumulated benefit liability relating to the NEO under the Salaried Pension Plan and the Supplemental Pension Plan in 2024. Amounts are calculated by comparing values as of the pension plan measurement date used for the Company’s financial statements for the applicable year. The Company uses the same assumptions it uses for financial reporting under generally accepted accounting principles. The assumed retirement age for the above values is the earliest age at which an executive could retire without any benefit reduction due to age (for the Supplemental Pension Plan) or the normal retirement age designated in the plan (for the Salaried Pension Plan), and the above values are calculated assuming each NEO survives to the assumed retirement age.
    (4)The amounts shown in this column consist of the components set forth in the table below, which include the contributions made with respect to each NEO under our 401(k) plan and the perquisites provided to each NEO. In addition, Mr. Sutton received a referral bonus of $1,000 during 2024 pursuant to a referral bonus program that applies to all employees of the Company.
