Timing and Procedures for Grants
Other than in exceptional cases, such as promotions or new hires, long-term incentive awards are generally granted in the first quarter of the fiscal year (October through December), at the time when salary levels and short-term incentive programs for the new fiscal year are determined. The HC&CC does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards. The Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
Our CEO recommends to the HC&CC the number and type of RSEs and stock options to be awarded to each NEO (other than our CEO). The HC&CC considers the equity awards for executive officers based in part upon benchmarked data from our peer group provided by Meridian valued on the date of grant, as well as other factors, such as the officers’ individual performance, current dilution rates, and the market run-rate for equity grants among the peer group.
With respect to awards to our CEO, Meridian, without input from our CEO or other members of management, provides a competitive market analysis to the HC&CC based on the benchmarking peer group. The HC&CC determines the award to recommend to our Board considering the market analysis, performance of our Company, returns to shareholders, and experience and effectiveness of our CEO’s leadership, as well as the input from Meridian.
The RSE awards are stock settled at the time of vesting when they convert into unrestricted shares of our common stock. PRSE awards are earned based on the level of performance over the vesting period against pre-established goals. Upon vesting, stock option awards become exercisable for the purchase of shares of our common stock at a price per share established at the time of grant, so that the option will have no financial value unless the price of our common stock appreciates following the date of grant. The value of all our equity awards fluctuates based on performance of our Company’s common stock over time. This combination of financial performance and stock price performance enhances alignment with our shareholders.
Anti-Hedging Policy
Our insider trading policy governs the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, and is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE standards. Under our insider trading policy, directors, officers and employees or their designees are prohibited from engaging in speculative trading or hedging transactions in Edgewell securities or purchasing any financial instruments or entering into any other arrangements designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Edgewell securities, including prohibitions on:
•investing or trading in market-traded options on Edgewell securities — i.e., puts and calls;
•purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds) that are designed to profit from, hedge or offset any change in the market value of equity securities (1) granted by our Company to the director, officer or employee as part of the compensation of the employee or member of our Board; or (2) held, directly or indirectly, by the director, officer or employee;
•engaging in “short-sales” of Edgewell securities — i.e., selling Edgewell stock not owned at the time of the sale;
•entering into a “sale against the box” transaction (loaning Edgewell stock to another individual and receiving cash back as security for the loan); or
=
•speculating on relatively short-term price movements of Edgewell securities — i.e., engaging in a purchase and sale of Edgewell stock within a short period of time.
Our policy prohibits directors, officers and employees from purchasing Edgewell securities on margin, holding Edgewell securities in a margin account, or pledging Edgewell securities as collateral. The policy also prohibits engaging in any other transaction involving Edgewell securities that suggests the misuse of information that is unavailable to the general public.

(1) All awards under our Executive Officer Bonus Program are based upon achievement of Company performance measures established at the beginning of a performance period. Consequently, the value of all bonuses earned during the fiscal year under these programs has been included in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of this table. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Compensation — Incentive Programs — Short-Term Incentive Program — Annual Cash Bonus.”
(2) The amounts listed in this column include both time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock equivalent grants awarded in fiscal 2024 to our named executive officers. The value of the performance-based award is calculated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Section 718. Our Company records estimated expense for performance-based grants based on target achievement of performance metrics for the three-year period, unless evidence exists that achievement above or below target for the applicable performance metric is more likely to occur. The following is the maximum value, if paid, for the performance award granted in fiscal 2024, based on the grant date value: Mr. Little, $7,100,034; Mr. Sullivan, $1,400,009; Mr. O’Toole, $1,100,002; Ms. Langley, $800,029; Mr. Hibbert, $700,004. Mr. Hill did not receive an award due to his planned retirement.

(3) The amounts listed in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted to our named executive officers calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Section 718, and do not reflect actual amounts paid to them, or realized by them, or that may be realized upon exercise by them. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in “Note 15. Share-Based Payments” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

(1) Since 2012, our officers are no longer eligible to contribute to the deferred compensation plan. Mr. Hill is the only NEO who was a participant. The officer contributions to our ESIP during fiscal 2024 consist of deferrals of salary earned with respect to fiscal 2024.
(2) Our contributions to our ESIP consist of Company contributions which would have otherwise been contributed to the 401(k) plan but for limitations imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. These amounts, in their entirety, are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.”
(3) Aggregate earnings/(losses) shown in this column consist of:
•amounts credited to each executive under the investment options of each of the plans, reflecting actual earnings on investment funds offered under our 401(k) plan,
•in the case of the prime rate option of our deferred compensation plan, the actual fund return rates,
•the appreciation or depreciation in value of each of the investment options in the plans between October 1, 2023 and September 30, 2024, and
•the appreciation or depreciation in value of vested restricted stock equivalents (see footnote 4 below).
The above-market portion of interest on the prime rate option (in excess of 120% of the APR) is set forth in the column titled “Change in Pension Value and Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” of the “Summary Compensation Table.”
(4) The balances in that plan for each of the officers also include amounts deferred by them, Company matching deferrals, and earnings thereon, in years in which they were not named executive officers and their compensation was not included in the “Summary Compensation Table.” The balances also reflect earnings and losses during the past fiscal year.

Based on the assumptions set out above, the following chart sets forth estimated payments to our NEOs upon termination following a change in control. The value of accelerated restricted stock equivalents reflects a stock price of $36.34 (the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2024, the last trading day of our fiscal year).

(1) It was determined that a “golden parachute” excise tax would be due under the Code for Mr. Little and Ms. Langley and, therefore, we reduced the aggregate amount of the payments that would be payable to an amount such that no excise tax would be due.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid” and certain company financial performance metrics. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with company financial performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Information presented in this section will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as we may specifically do so.

OWNERSHIP BY DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The table below contains information regarding beneficial common stock ownership by our directors, NEOs, and directors and executive officers as a group as of November 29, 2024. It does not reflect any changes in ownership that may have occurred after that date. In general, “beneficial ownership” includes those shares a director or executive officer has the power to vote or transfer, as well as shares owned by immediate family members that reside with the director or officer. Unless otherwise indicated, directors and executive officers named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth in the table and none of the stock included in the table is pledged. The table also indicates shares that may be obtained within 60 days upon the exercise of options, or upon the conversion of unvested RSEs into shares of common stock.
