The Company maintains a voluntary deferred compensation plan in which non -employeedirectors may defer receipt of any part or all of their respective directors’ fees, including retainer fees, meeting fees and committee fees. The director must elect to participate in the plan prior to the calendar year for which the deferral will be applicable. Upon election, a director must elect the form of payment (lump sum or annual installments over two to five years) and the date of payment (attainment of a specified age or cessation of serving as a director of the Company). The sums deferred under the plan are credited to an account for the director along with earnings on the deferred sum at an interest rate equal to the yield on the ten -yearU.S. Treasury bond, computed quarterly. The plan was frozen with respect to new deferrals for director fees, as well as closed to new participants, in December 2022. The table below summarizes the compensation the Company paid the directors during 2024. 2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
