Best Practices in Our Compensation Program
The CHR Committee reviews on an ongoing basis the Company’s executive compensation program to evaluate whether it supports the Company’s executive compensation philosophies and objectives and is aligned with shareholder interests. Our 2025 executive compensation practices include the following, each of which the CHR Committee believes reinforces our executive compensation objectives:
| What We Do | What We Do Not Do |
|---|---|
| Independent compensation consultant reports directly to the Committee Double-trigger change-in-control severance benefits Clawback Policy Robust stock ownership guidelines Annual Say-on-Pay vote Active Shareholder Engagement Limited perquisites Mitigation of undue risk | No employment agreements No tax gross-ups No defined benefit pension plans No dividends on unearned performance-based awards under our LTIP LTIP does not allow repricing of underwater stock options without shareholder approval No pledging, hedging, or short sales of our securities |
Shareholder Outreach

Proxy Summary
| Ratification of Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | |
|---|---|
| The Board recommends a vote FOR this proposal. | See page 102 |
The Audit and Reserves Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for 2026.
The Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although the submission of this matter for approval by shareholders is not required, we value the opinions of our shareholders and believe that shareholder ratification of the appointment is a good corporate governance practice.
If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit and Reserves Committee may reconsider the appointment of that firm as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
