    On June 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Saks 4,179 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), valued at a total of $75,000 based on the closing price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant, to vest over a period of five years in equal installments beginning in January 2024 and continuing through each January thereafter through 2028. In accordance with applicable regulations of the Commission, the value of these RSUs is included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2023, since the grant date occurred during that year. In March 2023, the Compensation Committee awarded Messrs. Miller and Saks cash amounts of $255,000 and $345,000, respectively, per specific incentive targets in compensation plans approved by the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2022. On the date of such award, Mr. Saks elected, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, to receive $25,000 of this amount in the form of immediately vested shares of common stock, with the number of shares determined based on the closing price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on such date. These cash payments and stock awards are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table as compensation for fiscal 2022, in accordance with applicable regulations of the Commission. On January 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted to Mr. Vizi 250,000 RSUs, which will become vested in five (5) equal annual installments of 50,000 RSUs on each of the first five anniversaries of January 1, 2023, so long as he remains continuously employed by the Company through such vesting dates, except vesting will be accelerated if his employment terminates prior to such vesting dates on account of death, disability or a covered termination following a change in control. In accordance with applicable regulations of the Commission, the value of these RSUs is included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2023, since the grant date occurred during that year. In December 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a performance-based grant of a target amount of 100,000 performance stock units (“PSUs”) to Mr. Vizi that based on certain performance metrics for our fiscal year ending December 30, 2023 could increase to 125,000 PSUs. In accordance with applicable regulations of the Commission, the value of these performance-based shares, based on the grant date share price, is included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2022, since the grant date occurred during that year, However, the award was earned based on performance during the current fiscal year ending December 30, 2023, and served as the sole long-term incentive award to Mr. Vizi with respect to performance during such period. On January 23, 2024, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Vizi had earned 62,500 of such PSUs. The remaining PSUs were forfeited. In January 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a performance-based grant of a target amount of 100,000 PSUs to Mr. Vizi that based on certain performance metrics for fiscal 2022 could increase to 125,000 PSUs. In January 2023, the Compensation Committee awarded 125,000 shares under this grant. The value of these performance-based shares, based on the grant date share price and reflecting the 125,000 shares ultimately awarded, is $0.8 million and is included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2022, the year in which the grant date occurred.

    4. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P Americas SmallCap Commercial and Professional Services Index. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2018, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P Americas SmallCap Commercial and Professional Services Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. 5. 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 2023. While we also determined this performance measure to have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2022 and 2021, we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. We note that the amounts of Adjusted EBITDA reflected here for 2022 and 2021 differ slightly from the amounts set forth in our 2023 proxy statement to reflect modifications made during 2024 to our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Commission during 2024.
