Pay Decisions and Compensation Governance Practices
A number of key 2024 compensation-related decisions resulted from our achievements, which are discussed more fully in
this section. The Committee believes that our executive compensation program continues to reflect a strong
pay-for-performance philosophy and is well aligned with the interests of shareholders. In addition, we believe that our
compensation practices are consistent with our pay decisions.

executive officers certain incentive compensation that is erroneously paid in connection with
an accounting restatement as well as a voluntary standalone policy allowing for recovery in
the event of a financial restatement as a result of misconduct.
