                We implemented a formal Fall Engagement Program


         Our Board, Management Development and Compensation Committee, Chair and Chief Executive Officer alongside our
         top executive management team from Legal, Finance, Human Resources and Investor Relations have a robust
         shareholder engagement program in place. This program is active year-round and accepts requests for engagement
         from shareholders and proactively reaches out to initiate dialogue with our shareholders on topics that are important to
         the Company.

         The shareholder engagement team described above embarked on a comprehensive engagement effort in connection
         with our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which included a shareholder proposal on the establishment within a
         year of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets (GHG Proposal) and a lower than expected advisory vote on executive
         compensation (Say On Pay), reaching out to over 30 of our top shareholders, representing approximately 64% of  PROXY HIGHLIGHTS
         outstanding shares for their feedback in regard to our executive compensation and our sustainability goals and actions.
         We continued those discussions throughout the year and commenced a Fall Engagement Program in October 2023 to
         discuss actions that the Management Development and Compensation Committee had taken in response to initial
         shareholder feedback and to ensure that any actionable feedback could be better incorporated into Management
         Development and Compensation Committee discussions and decisions for fiscal 2023 and beyond and to gauge the
         responsiveness of our efforts with respect to climate-related matters. As part of our Fall Engagement Program, we
         reached out to over 40 of our top shareholders, representing approximately 66% of our outstanding shares on the
         same matters and other topics.
