Shareholder Engagement and Proxy Advisor Outreach

We have a long-standing history of an active shareholder outreach and engagement program. The Board and management continue to place a high priority on listening to and considering the views of our shareholders. Engaging with our shareholders is fundamental to our commitment to good governance practices and has resulted in changes and enhancements to our governance and disclosures over time. Throughout the year, we seek opportunities to connect with our investors to gain and share valuable insights. We also have, over the past three years, a process of outreach to our top shareholders prior to our annual meeting to solicit feedback on our corporate governance practices, executive compensation, environmental and social goals, as well as our long-term business strategy and other issues specific to our industry. In addition, certain of our directors have participated in direct shareholder engagement when requested and deemed appropriate. The results of these conversations are summarized and discussed with both the Board and our management.

In 2024, these included our annual stockholder meeting, investor conferences and quarterly earnings calls to assist with stakeholder engagement. Under these efforts, we engaged with shareholders regarding the Company's common stock performance as well as broader governance issues. Our 2024 engagement with stakeholders focused on investor concerns regarding executive compensation, diversity and inclusion, environmental impact and ESG initiatives, disclosures and oversight.

We actively seek and value feedback from our shareholders. In addition to our traditional investor relations outreach efforts, we engage from time-to-time with significant shareholders on topics including our business strategy and financial performance, governance and executive compensation programs and other initiatives. We shared feedback received during these meetings with our Nominating and Governance Committee and Compensation Committee, informing their decision-making.
