2020 NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS’ COMPENSATION—OUR COMPENSATION STRATEGY / COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

2020 Named Executive Officers’ Compensation – Our Compensation Strategy
Our executive compensation program is specifically designed to:

• Attract and retain top-caliber, knowledgeable and experienced senior executives.
• Motivate our executives to achieve superior results and build long-term value for shareholders.
• Reward performance that meets or exceeds established goals consistent with our strategic aims and upholding integrity.
• Align individual objectives with the Company’s objectives without fostering excessive or inappropriate risk-taking.

• Encourage an ownership mentality and align the long-term financial interests of our executives with those of our
shareholders.
• Be market competitive with our peers with whom we compete for talent.

• Provide reward systems that are measurable and easily understood by our executives and shareholders.
• Inspire exceptional management and resiliency in times of unexpected and extraordinary circumstances.
• Reinforce the succession planning process undertaken on a company-wide basis by building bench strength and by
identifying and retaining senior leadership capable of achieving the Company’s long-term growth, profitability and other
objectives.

In 2020, our executive compensation structure consisted of three primary components: base salary, annual incentives, and
long-term incentives. Within the long-term incentive component, we utilized a balanced portfolio of PSUs and
performance-based RSUs.
