The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Information Technology 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting September 30, 2020, through the end of the listed fiscal year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Information Technology Index, respectively. Historical stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

5.

We determined Revenue 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 fiscal 2023. This financial performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal 2022 and 2021 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
