PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following information is provided about the relationship between compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT), Compensation Actually Paid (CAP), Total Shareholder Return (TSR), Net Income, and Non-GAAP Pre-Tax Income as the Company Selected Measure.
As shown in the table below, the CEO and other NEOs’ Compensation Actually Paid amounts are aligned with the Company’s TSR. Compensation Actually Paid has meaningfully decreased when the stock price has decreased (e.g., 2022), and Compensation Actually Paid has meaningfully increased when the stock price has increased (e.g., 2024). Alignment is primarily due to the Company’s use of equity incentives, which are tied directly to stock price in addition to the Company’s financial performance.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return    
Compensation Actually Paid versus Total Shareholder Return
As shown in the chart below, the CEO and other NEOs’ Compensation Actually Paid amounts are aligned with the Company’s TSR. Alignment is primarily due to the Company’s use of equity incentives, which are tied directly to stock price in addition to the Company’s financial performance. The TSR calculation assumes a $100 investment made on 12/28/2019.
A $100 investment in Wolverine since the announcement of Mr. Hufnagel’s appointment to CEO (on August 10, 2023) would be worth $268.34 at the end of fiscal year 2024 (168% appreciation) and Mr. Hufnagel’s Compensation Actually Paid is 149% higher than his Compensation disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, demonstrating alignment between our current CEO’s realizable compensation and the performance of our Company Stock during Mr. Hufnagel’s CEO tenure.
