Compensation Discussion and Analysis The following line graph compares Century Aluminum Company’s cumulative TSR with the cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index and that of our Industry Peer Group. These comparisons assume the investment of $100 on December 31, 2019, and the reinvestment of dividends. CEO Transition Payments In May 2021, in connection with his promotion to CEO, Mr. Gary received a one-time promotion award of $8,000,000, 25% of which was granted in the form of TVSUs and 75% of which was to be paid in cash. Each of the cash and TVSU portions of the award vested over a three-year period, as illustrated below, and was subject to Mr. Gary’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date. In providing this one-time award, the Committee sought to establish robust retention incentives given the importance of leadership continuity following the retirement of Century’s prior CEO. As the promotion award was determined and granted in 2021, the Committee did not consider the vesting or timing of the payments under the award in its assessment of Mr. Gary’s 2024 compensation.
