Our President and CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the amount and form of the compensation of the other executive officers and key employees, and he often participates in the Compensation Committee’s deliberations about the compensation of such individuals. Our Executive Vice President ("EVP"), Chief Communications and People Officer and our EVP, Chief Strategy and Legal Officer also regularly participate in the Compensation Committee’s meetings, but they do not participate in the determination of the amount or form of the compensation of executive officers or directors.

The Compensation Committee has retained Willis Towers Watson as its independent compensation consultant since April 2019. In connection with the 2024 compensation paid by the Company, Willis Towers Watson provided the Compensation Committee with data about the compensation paid by our peer group of companies, as described below, and other employers who compete with the Company for executives, updated the Compensation Committee on new developments in areas that fall within the Compensation Committee’s remit and was available to advise the Compensation Committee regarding its responsibilities. The compensation consultant serves at the pleasure of the Compensation Committee rather than the Company, and the consultant’s fees are approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Willis Towers Watson pursuant to applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards and concluded that Willis Towers Watson was independent under such standards and that their work did not raise any conflict of interest.
