Compensation element	How paid	Metrics and vesting
Base salary	Cash	Typically based on the Company’s current business environment, the individual’s level of responsibility and merit within the Company, and peer reference data.
Annual incentive compensation	Cash	The annual incentive compensation program is a performance-based plan that rewards performance against goals for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) in dollars (“EBITDA$”), and EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue (“EBITDA%”).
Long-term equity incentives	2/3 performance-based performance stock units (PSUs)	The 2024 awards of PSUs will cliff vest, to the extent earned, at the end of a three-year performance period based on continued employment and performance against goals for Enterprise Value Growth (Less Net Debt) per share (50%) and Adjusted EPS Growth (50%). Final awards may be modified (+/- 30%) based on Middleby’s TSR compared to TSR for our peer group.
	1/3 time-based restricted stock units (RSUs)	The RSUs will vest in three equal tranches in the March following each of the three fiscal years of the performance period for the PSUs awarded on the same date, subject to continued employment. Shares underlying the vested RSUs must be held until the end of the three fiscal year period to which they relate.

Metric	Definition	Rationale
Adjusted EPS Growth	Net Earnings plus the following: amortization, restructuring expenses, acquisition-related inventory step-up charges, facility consolidation expense, net periodic pension benefit other than service costs, one-time restructuring costs, and income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments, with the result divided by shares outstanding.	This is an easily understood metric that is reported in Middleby’s earnings releases, that closely aligns with stockholder growth expectations, and that is closely aligned with the valuation of the Company.
Enterprise Value Growth (Less Net Debt) Per Share	Adjusted EBITDA multiplied by a market multiple minus Net Debt, with the result divided by shares outstanding.	This metric closely aligns to stockholder value creation by comprehensively capturing growth and capital efficiency, and incorporating cash flow generation, fluctuation in debt balances, utilization of equity, and changes to total shares outstanding.

(1)	The amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the table reflect the fair value on the grant date of equity awards granted to our NEOs determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For time-based RSUs, fair value is computed by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the award (or target number of shares, if applicable) by the closing price per share of our common stock as reported on the date of grant. For the PSUs, fair value has been calculated based on the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions and a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The closing trading value of our common stock was $137.01 per share on May 14, 2024. The fair value on the grant date of the PSUs granted to our NEOs during 2024 based upon the maximum possible level of achievement under such awards would be $10,988,997 for Mr. FitzGerald, $3,288,377 for Mr. Mittelman, $4,499,734 for Mr. Pool, $4,499,734 for Mr. Spittle, and $2,466,105 for Mr. Fuchsen. Refer to the footnotes to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for the assumptions made when calculating the grant date fair values of the fiscal year 2024 grants of RSUs and PSUs.
