Pay vs Performance Disclosure                  
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table        
PAY VS. PERFORMANCE
As required by SEC rules, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last five completed fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers in the table below, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for this year and in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. The “compensation actually paid” data reflected in the table below may not reflect amounts actually realized by our named executive officers.
For information concerning the decisions made by our Compensation Committee with respect to compensation for the named executive officers for each fiscal year, please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis sections of this proxy statement and the proxy statements for the other fiscal years covered in the table below. A significant portion of “compensation actually paid” amounts shown relates to changes in values of unvested awards over the course of the reporting year. These unvested awards remain subject to significant risk from forfeiture conditions and possible future declines in value based on changes in our stock price. The ultimate values actually realized by our named executive officers from unvested equity awards will not be determined until the awards fully vest.
The following table summarizes compensation paid to our current Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (referred to in the tables as our PEO), our Interim CEO who served for a portion of fiscal 2025 (referred to in the tables as our Interim CEO), and our two former CEOs (referred to as our former PEOs) as set forth in our Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), the adjusted values of compensation actually paid to our PEO, Interim PEO and former PEOs, average compensation paid to our current named executive officers other than our PEO, Interim PEO and former PEOs as set forth in our SCT, and the adjusted values of average compensation actually paid to such other current named executive officers, each as calculated in accordance with SEC rules, as well as certain Company and peer group performance measures, in each case for the five fiscal years ended May 3, 2025.

A detailed EBITDA reconciliation for our fiscal years 2025 and 2024 can be found in our fourth quarter fiscal 2025 earnings release included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on July 9, 2025.
