SUMMARY OF OUR COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS /



        The Company’s solid performance in 2024 resulted in strong payouts from the Annual Cash Incentive Plan and reinforces our
        pay-for-performance strategy which aligns our performance with management’s pay and with shareholders’ interests.

        The Committee also believes it is important to ensure that our Company and business model are resilient and robust under
        challenging circumstances, regardless of whether factors impacting specific performance are predictable or within
        management’s control. In this regard, the Committee developed a Resilience Scorecard in 2021 that includes the key
        criteria described in the chart below that in our view measure our Company’s ability to remain strong through severe,
        unexpected circumstances, as well as assessing management’s actions and whether they were appropriate in responding
        to and managing through extraordinary events. The Resilience Scorecard allows the Committee to apply a multiplier of
        0.75x to 1.25x to management’s annual award that would be otherwise based on pre-event factors. These qualitative
        factors are important to position the Company to minimize the adverse impact from these unexpected events.

        The Committee has determined not to apply any multiplier in the Resilience Scorecard to executive compensation
        in 2024, nor did it make any adjustments to executive compensation based on the Scorecard.
