  1. Voting for the Election of Directors

    Voting for the Election of Directors Section 65(1) of the Business Corporations Act (New Brunswick) provides for cumulative voting for the election of directors so that each shareholder entitled to vote at an election of directors has the right to cast an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of votes attached to the shares held by such shareholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and may cast all such votes in favor of a single candidate or distribute them among the candidates in any manner the shareholder decides. The statute further provides, in section 65(2), that a separate vote of shareholders shall be taken with respect to each candidate nominated for director unless a resolution of the shareholders is passed unanimously permitting two or more persons to be elected by a single resolution. Where a shareholder has voted for more than one candidate without specifying the distribution of votes among such candidates, the shareholder shall be deemed to have divided the votes equally among the candidates for whom such shareholder voted. If a shareholder desires to distribute votes other than equally among the nominees for whom such shareholder has directed the persons in the enclosed form of proxy to vote, such shareholder must do so at the meeting or by another form of proxy. On any ballot for the election of directors, the persons named in the proxy will be deemed to have cast their votes equally among all the proposed nominees, unless: (a) any nominee is excluded by the shareholder in their proxy; or (b) the shareholder has directed that the shares be withheld from voting for the election of directors. Directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast in the manner described above in an uncontested election. If the number of candidates nominated for director exceeds the number of positions to be filled, the candidates who receive the least number of votes shall be eliminated until the number of candidates remaining equals the number of positions to be filled.

  2. Counting of Votes

    Counting of Votes For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present. With respect to the approval of any particular proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy form with respect to common shares held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in “street name”) but declines to vote on a particular matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Brokers will return your proxy as a broker non-vote if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you and if, under applicable stock exchange or other rules, the broker does not have the discretion to vote those shares on the applicable matter(s) that come before the meeting.

  3. Virtual Meeting Considerations

    Virtual Meeting Considerations We believe a virtual meeting enables increased shareholder attendance and participation because shareholders can participate from any location around the world. In addition, as part of our efforts to minimize the negative environmental impact from physical travels, we believe that holding our annual shareholder meeting via remote participation is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. You will be able to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting online by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NOVT2026. If you are a shareholder of record, you also will be able to vote your shares electronically and submit questions at the 2026 Annual Meeting by joining the meeting following the instructions above. As part of the 2026 Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer appropriate questions submitted by shareholders during the meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, for up to 15 minutes after the completion of the 2026 Annual Meeting. Only shareholders that have accessed the 2026 Annual Meeting as a shareholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Attending the 2026 Annual Meeting” will be permitted to submit questions during the 2026 Annual Meeting. Each shareholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things: • irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the 2026 Annual Meeting; • related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our last Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; • related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation; • related to personal grievances; • derogatory references to individuals or otherwise in bad taste; • substantially repetitious of questions already asked by another shareholder; • in excess of the two-question limit; • in furtherance of the shareholder’s personal or business interests; or • out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the 2026 Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair or secretary of the meeting in their reasonable judgment. Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the 2026 Annual Meeting webpage for shareholders that have accessed the 2026 Annual Meeting as a shareholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Attending the 2026 Annual Meeting.” We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties that you may have accessing the virtual meeting website. The information for assistance will be located on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NOVT2026.

  4. Item 1–Election of Directors

    Item 1–Election of Directors The Articles of the Company provide that our Board is to be comprised of a minimum of five (5) and a maximum of fifteen (15) directors, as determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. The Board has resolved that the entire Board shall consist of nine (9) directors. Each nominee presented below, if elected, will serve as a director until the next annual meeting of shareholders, until his or her successor is elected or appointed, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. All of the nominees listed below have given their consent to be named as nominees for election and have indicated their intention to serve if they are elected. The Board does not anticipate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but in the event that a nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the Board may either propose an alternate nominee, in which case the proxies will be voted for the alternative nominee unless directed to withhold from voting, or elect to reduce the size of the Board. The names of the nominees presented for election as directors at the 2026 Annual Meeting are listed below, along with information regarding when they joined the Board, their present principal occupation, recent business experience and their service on other companies’ boards of directors. Matthew T. Farrell was initially recommended to serve on the Board by a third-party search firm and further evaluated and recommended to the Board for consideration by the Environmental, Social and Governance Committee (the "ESG Committee") prior to his appointment in 2025 to the Board. All of the nominees currently serve on the Board. There are no family relationships between any of the nominees or between the nominees and any of the Company’s officers.

  9. Director Compensation

    Director Compensation In general, the Company uses a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain candidates to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company does not compensate directors who are also employees for their service on the Board. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2025, Mr. Glastra, who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and as the Chair of the Board, did not receive any compensation for his service on the Board. Compensation for the Board is overseen by the ESG Committee rather than the Compensation Committee, which focuses on employee compensation. The ESG Committee periodically reviews the cash and equity-based compensation for non-employee directors and makes recommendations to the full Board for any adjustments. The Board of Directors approves the policy pursuant to which the compensation of the non-employee directors is provided. Under this policy (the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, in effect as of January 1, 2019 and amended on May 13, 2021 and February 25, 2023), the non-employee directors received the following compensation during 2025: • An annual cash retainer in the amount of $67,500 for each non-employee director; • An additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $25,000 for the Lead Director; • An additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $125,000 for the non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors, if applicable; • An additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $25,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee (unless such Chair is also serving as non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors); • An additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $20,000 for the Chair of the Compensation Committee (unless such Chair is also serving as non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors); • An additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $15,000 for the Chair of the ESG Committee (unless such Chair is also serving as non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors); • An additional annual cash retainer for each non-employee member (other than the Chair) of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and ESG Committee (unless such member also serves as non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors) in the amount of $10,000, $10,000 and $5,000, respectively; and • An annual grant of equity with a grant-date fair value of $200,000 to each non-employee member of the Board of Directors. All annual grants of equity to the Board of Directors will be in the form of RSUs that vest upon grant and will be converted into the Company's common shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In February 2026, in order to maintain the competitiveness of the Company’s director compensation program with its peers, on advice of its independent Board compensation consultant, the Board approved changes to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy that are effective going-forward starting in February 2026 with respect to payments to members of the Transaction Committee and effective after the 2026 Annual Meeting with respect to all other payments to be made under such Policy after the 2026 Annual Meeting. These 2026 changes to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy revised the values of the retainer amounts from those described above for 2025 to the amounts listed below: • An annual cash retainer in the amount of $75,000 for each non-employee director; • The annual additional cash retainer for the Lead Director is now $40,000; The annual additional cash retainer for any non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors, if applicable, remains unchanged; The annual additional cash retainer for the Chair of the Transaction Committee is now $15,000 (unless such Chair is also serving as non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors), and there is no change in the annual additional cash retainer for the Chair of the Audit Committee, the Chair of the Compensation Committee, and the Chair of the ESG Committee; An annual additional cash retainer for non-employee members of the Transaction Committee (who are not Chair of such Committee) of $7,500, and an annual additional cash retainer for non-employee members of the ESG Committee (who are not Chair of such Committee) of $7,500 are now provided, and there is no change in the annual additional cash retainer for non-employee members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee; and • The annual grant of equity to each non-employee member of the Board of Directors will now have a grant date fair value of $210,000. Until the 2026 changes described above become effective as described above, the compensation arrangement for non-employee directors that was in effect for 2025 continues to apply. Any non-employee director who is initially elected to the Board on any date other than the first business day of an applicable calendar year receives a pro-rated cash retainer and grant of equity based on their date of election to the Board. As of December 31, 2025, each director was also a party to an indemnification agreement with the Company. Such indemnification agreements generally provide, among other things, that each director shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director in connection with any proceeding by reason of his or her relationship with the Company. In addition, such indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by such director in connection with any proceeding covered by such indemnification agreements, subject to the conditions set forth therein and to the extent such advancement is not prohibited by law.

  18. Role of the Compensation Committee, Management and Outside Advisors

    Role of the Compensation Committee, Management and Outside Advisors The Compensation Committee is responsible for designing, implementing and evaluating the Company’s executive compensation plans and policies. Among its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee: • Reviews the Compensation Committee Charter annually and amends it as appropriate; • Establishes the Company’s compensation philosophy and the framework for determining the compensation of the NEOs; • Reviews, evaluates and approves base salaries, cash-based incentives, long-term equity-based incentives and all other forms of compensation for the NEOs; • Evaluates the performance of the CEO and receives performance evaluations of the other NEOs as reported by the CEO, which will impact the following year’s compensation decisions; • Reviews and approves the performance objectives, including the target financial objectives for both cash-based incentives and performance-based stock awards, applicable to each of the NEOs; • Certifies performance after the end of each year and approves annual cash incentive payouts; and Certifies performance payout and vesting of performance stock unit awards after the end of the relevant performance period. In performing the responsibilities above, the Compensation Committee receives advice and input, as applicable, from the Board of Directors, the CEO, the Chief Human Resources Officer, the Company's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and outside compensation consultants, on compensation issues and regarding general compensation policies, including the appropriate level and mix of the compensation for executive officers. The Compensation Committee meets in executive sessions and, where appropriate, with members of management, including the CEO, Chief Human Resources Officer and General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, outside consultants and the Company’s outside legal counsel. Although the CEO is generally present during the non-executive sessions of the Compensation Committee meetings and provides input to the Compensation Committee with regards to compensation for his direct reports, the Compensation Committee makes all decisions with regards to CEO compensation in executive sessions and the CEO has no vote in the actual approval of compensation for any executive officer. The Compensation Committee continually evaluates the Company’s compensation policies and practices to ensure that they are consistent with good governance principles. Below are highlights of what we do and what we do not do:

  19. Role of the Compensation Committee, Management and Outside Advisors

    | What We Do | | What We Do Not Do | | |  | Pay for Performance. We place significant weight on performance-based, at-risk, long-term compensation. |  | No Excise Tax Gross-Ups. We do not provide any compensation-related tax gross-ups (except in connection with relocation expenses). | |  | Robust Performance Goals. We deliver rewards that are based on the achievement of long-term objectives and the creation of shareholder value. |  | No Excessive Perks. We do not provide significant perquisites. | |  | Options Granted at Fair Market Value. Any stock options awarded to Named Executive Officers are approved by the Compensation Committee at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of Novanta common stock on the date of grant. |  | No Excessive Risks or Short-Term Results to the Detriment of Long-Term Results. Compensation practices and pay mix heavily weighted toward long-term incentives aligned with the interests of shareholders and designed to dis-incentivize excessive risk taking. | |  | Clawback Practices. We maintain a clawback policy with respect to incentive-based cash and equity compensation consistent with Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act and the corresponding listing standard adopted by the Nasdaq. |  | Ban on Hedging and Pledging. We do not allow employees, officers or directors to hedge or pledge Company stock. | |  | Robust Stock Ownership Requirements. We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our CEO and other Named Executive Officers that are 2-3 times their salary. |  | No Replacement Awards. We do not reprice or replace out-of-the-money stock options. | |  | Double Trigger in the Event of a Change-in-Control. We have double-trigger vesting of cash severance payments and equity awards upon a change in control. |  | No Guaranteed Employment. We do not have contracts that guarantee employment with any executives (all employment is terminable at will). | |  | Maximum Payout Caps for Incentive Plans. We have a cap on cash incentive compensation at 200% and performance-based equity incentive compensation at 260% of target number of shares. |  | No Dividends on Unvested Awards. We do not pay dividends on unvested stock awards. |

  20. Executive Compensation Program Elements

    Short Term Cash Incentives The Senior Management Incentive Plan (“SMIP”) includes cash incentives that are designed to motivate and reward the Company’s key management team members for driving short-term performance within their respective organizations and across the Company. The cash incentives pursuant to the 2025 SMIP plan for the NEOs are earned based on the achievement against 2025 Organic Revenue Growth rate and Adjusted EBITDA target (the “Financial Objectives”), approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2025. The target levels of the Financial Objectives (provided below) are correlated with the Company’s annual growth and profitability objectives. Although the target financial metrics for cash incentives are intended to be achievable, a maximum bonus payout would require very high levels of performance. Actual performance against the Financial Objectives must be within an established range of the targets to result in any payout, and each objective is measured and achievement is calculated independently as described in more detail below. Each of the NEOs had an established bonus incentive target, which is based on a percentage of current annual base salary. Pursuant to the SMIP, the target bonus would be payable upon 100% achievement of the applicable Financial Objectives for fiscal year 2025. The table below summarizes the target cash incentive bonus minimum and maximum payouts for each NEO under the SMIP, including the annual target as a percentage of base salary and the annual bonus target in dollars. Mr. Manganiello's employment with the Company commenced on December 1, 2025 and he was not eligible for a cash incentive bonus for fiscal year 2025.

  22. Executive Compensation Program Elements

    1.) Mr. Manganiello was not eligible for a cash incentive award in 2025. The cash incentives are eligible to be earned annually. Payouts for all NEOs are calculated as the achievement against the Financial Objectives multiplied by the target bonus percentage and base salary for the applicable period for each NEO. The cash incentives earned in the current year are paid in March of the following year. Amounts earned based on the Financial Objectives will vary depending upon the level of achievement of the Financial Objectives and are calculated using payout curves. The threshold, target and maximum payouts pursuant to the 2025 Financial Objectives are presented below. There is no payout when the threshold 2025 Financial Objectives are not met.

  23. Executive Compensation Program Elements

    | Fiscal Year 2025 | Adjusted EBITDA 70% Weight | Organic Revenue Growth 30% Weight | Range of Payouts | | Threshold | $202.5 million | 3.0% | 50% of target payout | | Target | $225.0 million | 5.0% | 100% of target payout | | Maximum | $247.5 million | 7.0% | 200% of target payout |

  24. Executive Compensation Program Elements

    Actual Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2025 was $221.0 million and Organic Revenue Growth was (0.5)%, which resulted in cash incentives earned by the NEOs of a blended 65.3% payout of their target bonuses. Equity-Based Compensation The Company uses equity-based compensation to align executive compensation with long-term goals that enhance shareholder value and to promote executive retention with the Company by extending vesting periods over several years. Accordingly, the Company makes equity-based compensation a significant portion of our NEO compensation, as demonstrated by the grants made to the NEOs in 2025. Further, we are committed to granting at least 50% of the long-term incentive compensation for our NEOs in the form of performance-based equity instruments. The following table presents the equity grants awarded to the NEOs in 2025:

  28. Executive Compensation and Comparable Company Data

    Executive Compensation and Comparable Company Data Generally, the Compensation Committee reviews each named executive officer’s total compensation annually and, in connection with this review, considers market data for similar positions at other public companies and other relevant sources. The Compensation Committee may retain the services of advisors and has the budgetary authority to hire such advisors as it deems necessary for its compensation review. In 2025, the Compensation Committee worked directly with Aon to design the fiscal year 2025 executive compensation plans. Aon helped the Compensation Committee assess whether the total compensation paid to the NEOs is fair, reasonable and competitive. The Company has assessed the independence of Aon and its representatives and has determined that no conflicts of interest exist. To avoid any conflict of interest, Aon did not provide consulting services other than services related to executive and director compensation to the Company during 2025. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to the NEOs are intended to be similar to those provided to executive officers at other public companies. While the Compensation Committee does not believe it is appropriate to set executive compensation levels based exclusively on compensation surveys and comparable company data, the Compensation Committee uses publicly available surveys and comparable company data as tools for assessing whether the Company’s executive compensation program is, in the aggregate, reasonable in scope, market-competitive, and consistent from year to year. In late 2024, Aon was asked to develop a compensation report that identifies market-based compensation structures, pay practices and rates of compensation for targeted positions at the Company as compared to the Company’s peer group. The peer group is selected based on relevant factors, including industry, fiscal year or trailing twelve-month revenue, market capitalization, employee headcount, total shareholder return and EBITDA. The peer group used in this compensation report prepared by Aon in October 2024, which was used in establishing the 2025 compensation of our NEOs, was comprised of the following companies:

  29. Shareholder Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote

    Shareholder Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote At the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company provided the shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote to approve the Company’s executive compensation. Approximately 97% of the votes cast on the “2025 say-on-pay advisory vote” were voted in favor of the proposal. We have considered the 2025 say-on-pay advisory vote and believe that the overwhelming support of our shareholders for the 2025 say-on-pay advisory vote indicates that our shareholders are generally supportive of our approach to executive compensation. The Company considered the outcome of the say-on-pay advisory votes when making compensation decisions regarding its NEOs for 2026 and plans to continue to consider input from shareholders in future years. The following chart presents the voting results for the say-on-pay advisory vote for the last three years: Employee Benefits and Other Compensation In addition to the elements of compensation discussed above, the Company offers the NEOs contributions towards health and dental insurance premiums consistent with the Company’s contribution levels offered to all other employees of the Company. The Company does not offer a deferred compensation program, nor does it offer retirement benefits other than a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan. This plan provides for Company matching contributions of 100% of the first four percent of compensation and 50% of the next two percent of compensation up to the maximum amount allowed under the Code. The Company provides life and disability insurance benefits to the NEOs in excess of those available to all other employees after considering the market data for similar positions of other public companies. The cost of such life and disability insurance benefits in 2025 totaled $29,559, $14,337, $3,053, $10,822, $135 and $5,567 for Messrs. Glastra, Buckley, Lesica, Ravetto and Manganiello, and Ms. Welsh, respectively. Severance and Change in Control Benefits The Company has certain obligations to its NEOs in specified circumstances, including termination of employment or a change in control of Novanta Inc., pursuant to the terms of individualized employment agreements. Ms. Welsh's employment termination, which was effective as of July 18, 2025, was treated by the Company as a termination by the Company without Cause. Under the terms of the Company's employment agreement with her, Ms. Welsh became entitled to severance benefits. See “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” for a description of the employment agreements and “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” for a description of the severance and change in control obligations in such agreements.

  30. Equity Grant Practices

    Equity Grant Practices We do not time the granting of equity-based compensation with any favorable or unfavorable news released by the Company. We do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity-based compensation or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Annual equity-based compensation grants are consistently granted on or about the day of the February Compensation Committee meeting. Equity awards granted to newly hired employees, including executive officers, generally have an effective grant date of the fifteenth day of the month following the commencement of employment, or, if such date falls on a weekend or market holiday, the next business day. Proximity of any awards to an earnings announcement or other market events is coincidental. In the event material nonpublic information were to become known to the Compensation Committee before the grant of equity-based compensation, the Compensation Committee would consider the information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

  31. Summary Compensation Table

  38. Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

    1.) Amounts shown in these columns reflect the aggregate threshold, target and maximum payout levels for cash incentives under the SMIP. Pursuant to the SMIP, each NEO has an established target bonus which is based on a percentage of the respective NEO’s base salary. A target payout assumes a 100% payout of the target bonus based on 100% achievement of the respective Financial Objectives under the SMIP. A threshold payout assumes 50% payout for attaining the minimum performance achievement of 90% of Adjusted EBITDA target and 3.0% of Organic Revenue Growth. A maximum payout assumes a 200% payout for achievement of 110% or more of Adjusted EBITDA target and 7.0% or more of Organic Revenue Growth. If the minimum performance targets are not achieved, the payout will be zero. See the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for further detail of the Financial Objectives and amounts earned. The actual amount earned is reported under the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table. Amounts shown in these columns reflect the threshold, target and maximum vesting levels of the performance stock units. The grant date fair value of these units was based on the target number of shares that might be earned. These performance stock units cliff-vest following the end of the applicable three-year performance period based on achievement of the applicable performance threshold and the Company’s TSR performance versus the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index companies, subject to continued employment on the date of vesting and accelerated vesting under specified circumstances. Further information regarding accelerated vesting is provided in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” The number of shares in this column represents the number of shares subject to restricted stock units granted in 2025. These restricted stock units vest one-third annually on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to continued employment on the date of vesting and accelerated vesting under specified circumstances. Further information regarding accelerated vesting is provided in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” 4.) EBITDA-PSUs and Revenue-PSUs are considered hybrid awards. The grant date fair values of these hybrid PSU awards are determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model as of February 20, 2025. The key inputs to the Monte Carlo valuation model included the length of the remaining performance period as of the date of grant, the expected stock price volatilities for both the Company’s common stock and the Russell 2000 index, and the estimated risk-free interest rate for the measurement period. 5.) Represents a one-time equity-based compensation award approved by the Compensation Committee on November 5, 2024, with an aggregate award value of $1,250,000. The award consists of approximately $600,000 in restricted stock units that vest ratably, with one-third vesting on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, and approximately $650,000 in restricted stock units that cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. 6.) Mr. Manganiello was not eligible for plan-based awards in 2025.

  51. CEO Pay Ratio

    CEO Pay Ratio Our CEO to median employee pay ratio is calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The Company identified the median employee by using a consistently applied compensation measure of “total gross compensation” for our employee population as of October 31, 2025, excluding our CEO. “Total gross compensation” includes regular earnings, overtime pay and overtime premium, equity compensation, commission, bonus and other cash incentive compensation, and allowances (car, housing, travel, meal, etc.) that are considered compensation. The Company did not make any assumptions, adjustments, or estimates with respect to total gross compensation, and did not annualize the compensation for any full-time employees that were not employed by the Company for the full year in 2025. The Company included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis. As of October 31, 2025, our employee population consisted of approximately 3,000 individuals, with 37% of these individuals located in the United States, 54% located in Europe and 9% located in Asia. Using this methodology, the Company determined that our median employee was a full-time employee working in the United States. As illustrated in the table below, our CEO to median employee pay ratio is 186:1.

  64. Pay Versus Performance Table

    4.) The Peer Group TSR set forth in the Pay Versus Performance Table above utilizes Russell 2000 Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The comparison assumes that $100 was invested in the Company and in the Russell 2000 Index, respectively, for the period starting December 31, 2020 through the end of each year presented. Historical stock performance shown is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. We determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2025. As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this management proxy circular, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure used in our Senior Management Incentive Plan. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of a Financial and Operation system implementation, charges related to an insurance recovery, officer transition costs, cost directly related to COVID-19 testing, and other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses, costs related to our debt refinancing and net periodic pension costs of the Company’s frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan. A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the tables at the end of the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA may not have been the most important financial performance measure for other fiscal years presented and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
