The charts below summarize our EPS growth and total stockholder return (TSR), over the past five years, and
compare our five-year cumulative TSR to our proxy peer group companies and certain market indices. These
returns assume an initial investment of $100 on January 31, 2010 (the first day of fiscal 2010) and reinvestment
of dividends. Based upon a review of the results achieved, we believe our compensation program is effective in
incenting performance and linking performance with appropriate rewards.

Stockholders Supported Our Compensation Program in 2014
Our stockholders express their views on our compensation program and compensation decisions annually by
casting votes in favor of or against our annual Say on Pay proposal. At the 2014 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, over 89% of the votes cast were in favor of our Say on Pay proposal. The Compensation
Committee considered this advisory vote in determining whether our stockholders continue to support our
compensation policies and our compensation decisions, and concluded that it demonstrates continued support.
