RECENT SAY-ON-PAY APPROVAL Effect of Say-on-Pay Vote This say-on-pay vote, which is required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is advisory only and is not binding on the company, the Compensation and People Committee, or our Board of Directors. Although the vote is advisory, we, our Compensation and People Committee, and our Board of Directors value the opinions of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of this vote when establishing future compensation for our executive officers. We hold such a vote each year.
