        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.

         WHAT WE DO             YES
         Pay for performance    Tie pay to performance by ensuring that a significant portion of NEO compensation is
                                performance-based and at-risk and is determined based on a formulaic approach.
         Median compensation    We generally aim to align all target compensation elements for our executives with the
         targets                median of our peer group companies. The peer group is confirmed by the Committee on an
                                annual basis.
         PSUs are a substantial  PSU grants, tied to our achievement of specified performance measures, comprised
         portion of LTI         approximately 55% of the total value of annual long-term incentive grants made to our NEOs
                                in 2024. RSUs comprised the remaining 45%.

         Independent
         compensation           The Committee retains an independent compensation consultant.

         Robust share           We have robust stock ownership guidelines of 7 times base salary for the CEO, 5 times base
         ownership              salary for our other NEOs, and 5 times annual retainer for Directors. We also have an equity
         requirements           retention requirement of 50% of net shares paid as incentive compensation until ownership
                                guidelines are met.

         Clawback policy        We have a mandatory compensation recovery (clawback) policy that implements the SEC and
                                NYSE clawback rules and requires the Company to recover from its current and former
                                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.
         Regular engagement
         with shareholders      We engage with shareholders to hear their views on compensation and other issues.

         Annual elections       All of our Directors stand for election each year.
