Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote For purposes of this table, the compensation actually paid (also referred to as “Compensation Actually Paid” or “CAP”) to each of our NEOs means the NEO’s total compensation as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year less the grant date fair values of stock awards and option awards included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table for the NEO for the applicable year, and adjusted for the following with respect to the RSUs and PSUs granted to the NEO, including any dividend equivalents granted with respect to such awards:
▪Plus the year-end value of awards granted in the covered fiscal year which were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year,
▪Plus/(less) the change in value as of the end of the covered fiscal year as compared to the end of the prior fiscal year for awards which were granted in prior years and were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year,
▪Plus the vesting date value of awards which were granted and vested during the same covered fiscal year,
▪Plus/(less) the change in value as of the vesting date as compared to the end of the prior fiscal year for awards which were granted in prior years and vested in the covered fiscal year,
▪Less, as to any awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and were forfeited during the covered fiscal year, the value of such awards as of the end of the prior fiscal year,
▪Plus the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid during the covered fiscal year on outstanding and unvested awards (no dividends or dividend equivalents were paid or credited on outstanding options, cash dividends were paid on outstanding unvested restricted stock awards, and, for other awards, the crediting of dividend equivalents in accordance with the applicable award terms has been taken into account in determining the applicable fiscal year-end or vesting date value of the award),
▪Plus, as to an award that is materially modified during the covered fiscal year, the amount by which the value of the award as of the date of the modification exceeds the value of the original award on the modification date (none of the RSUs or PSUs held by the NEOs were materially modified during the fiscal years covered by the table).
In making each of these adjustments, the “value” of an award is the fair value of the award on the applicable date determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the valuation assumptions we then use to calculate the fair value of our equity awards. For more information on the valuation of our equity awards, please see the notes to our financial statements that appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K each year and the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table that appear in our annual proxy statement.
The table reflects the CAP (determined as noted above) for our CEO and, for our Non-PEO NEOs, the average of the CAPs determined for the Non-PEO NEOs for each of the years shown in the table.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the Summary Compensation Table Total to CAP for our CEO.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return Total Stockholder Return represents the return on a fixed investment of $100 in the Company’s common stock for the period beginning on the last trading day of fiscal 2020 through the end of the applicable fiscal year, and is calculated assuming the reinvestment of dividends. Peer Group Total Stockholder Return represents the return on a fixed investment of $100 in a peer group consisting of the following companies: Barrett Business Services, Inc.; CBIZ, Inc.; CRA International, Inc.; FTI Consulting, Inc.; Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc.; Huron Consulting Group Inc.; ICF International, Inc.; Kforce, Inc.; Korn Ferry; and MISTRAS Group, Inc., which are the peers utilized by the Company for fiscal 2024 executive compensation decisions, for the period beginning on the last trading day of fiscal 2020 through the end of the applicable fiscal year. Peer Group Total Stockholder Return is calculated assuming the reinvestment of dividends and by weighting the returns of each component issuer of the group according to each respective issuer’s stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The following chart illustrates the CAP for our CEO and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs for each of the last four years against our Total Stockholder Return and the Peer Group Total Stockholder Return for our peer group (each calculated as described above) over that period of time.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income This column shows the Company’s net income for each fiscal year covered by the table. The following chart illustrates the CAP for our CEO and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs for each of the last four years against our net income for each of those years. Fiscal 2025 net loss includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $194.4 million.
5642
        
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure This column shows the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for each fiscal year covered by the table. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a key metric in our executive compensation program as it is used both in our Executive Incentive Plan and to determine the vesting of our NEO’s PSUs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes plus or minus stock-based compensation expense, amortized ERP system costs, technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, and contingent consideration adjustments, as reported in the Company’s financial statements. See pages 36-37 of the Fiscal 2025 Annual Report for a discussion of the adjustments made and a reconciliation of those adjustments to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to compute Adjusted EBITDA, and similar discussions of Adjusted EBITDA in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for prior fiscal years. The following chart illustrates the CAP for our CEO and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs for each of the last four years against our Adjusted EBITDA for each of those years.

Following is an unranked list of the Company’s two financial performance measures we considered in linking the compensation actually paid to our NEOs for fiscal 2025 with Company performance.
These performance measures were used in our PSUs and in our EIP performance measurement framework. For a discussion of these terms as used in our 2025 PSUs and EIP, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above.
In addition to the financial performance measures listed above, we view the Company’s stock price, upon which the value of all of our awards is dependent, as a key performance-based component of our executive compensation program in order to further align the interests of our senior management team with the interests of our stockholders.
