For the equity values included in the above tables, the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of the grant.

⁴ The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the group of U.S. companies listed on NASDAQ with standard industry classification codes of: Eating and Drinking (SIC 5800-5899) (the “Peer Group TSR”), 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 year ended December 31, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 29, 2019, through the end of the listed year, in the Company and the Peer Group TSR, respectively. All dollar values assume reinvestment of the pre-tax value of dividends paid by companies, where applicable. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

⁵ See Annex A to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to our results as reported under GAAP. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
