A summary of TVUs outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and changes during the three months ended December 31, 2024 are as follows: TVUs (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at October 1 1,918.0 $ 21.34 Granted* 1,404.0 18.70 Distributed** (656.2) 22.42 Forfeited, canceled or expired (32.7) 20.03 Nonvested at December 31 2,633.1 $ 19.74 Expected to vest at December 31 2,502.9 $ 19.75 *Includes accumulated nonvested dividend equivalents **The TVUs distributed include shares withheld for taxes that are not formally issued to the market.

At December 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining vesting term of TVUs is 2.2 years. Performance Based Restricted Stock Units ("PSUs") During the three months ended December 31, 2024 , Embecta awarded 538,031 RSUs in the form of PSUs to certain executive officers and employees which cliff vest after three years, subject to continued employment of the recipients and the achievement of certain performance metric targets. The Company has identified certain performance metrics associated with these awards and certain targets will be fully established at a future date. The Company has determined that the service inception date precedes the grant date for these awards as (a) the awards were authorized prior to establishing an accounting grant date, (b) the recipients began providing services prior to the grant date, and (c) there are performance conditions that, if not met by the accounting grant date, will result in the forfeiture of the awards. As the service inception date precedes the accounting grant date, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for each separately-vesting tranche over the requisite service period based on the fair value at each reporting date. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period or is based on retirement eligibility. These awards accumulate dividend equivalents, which are provided as additional units and are subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying grant. As of December 31, 2024 , there were 1,019,799 RSUs in the form of PSUs that have been awarded, inclusive of accumulated dividend equivalents, for which a grant date has not yet been established.
