#### Clawback Policy
The Board adopted a clawback policy that complies with the listing standards of the NYSE effective October 2, 2023 in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, and the regulations adopted on February 22, 2023 by the SEC under such section. A copy of the clawback policy is filed as Exhibit 97 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 , and the following summary of the provisions of the policy is subject to the full terms of the policy itself.

Our clawback policy provides that if the Company is required in the future to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements because of the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, the Board will, subject to certain limited exceptions permitted under the final clawback rules, require reimbursement or forfeiture of any “excess incentive compensation,” whether in the form of cash or equity, received by any current or former executive officer of the Company and its subsidiaries as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 10D and such other employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the policy by the Board (“covered executives”), during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the accounting restatement. For this purpose, “excess incentive compensation” means the amount of incentive compensation that was paid over the amount that would have been paid to the covered executives if it had been based on the restated results, as determined by the Board. Unless the Board determines to itself administer the clawback policy, the policy shall be administered by the C&HC Committee and references therein to the Board shall be deemed references to the C&HC Committee. This clawback policy was effective as of August 30, 2023, the date it was adopted by the Board, and applies to incentive compensation approved, awarded or granted to covered executives on and after that date.

With respect to incentive compensation that was approved, awarded or granted to certain executive officers of the Company prior to the effective date of the clawback policy, the Company’s prior clawback policy will remain in effect. Under that prior policy, a ny cash bonus awarded by the C&HC Committee to any executive officer (as that term is defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) in any of the Company’s cash incentive or bonus plans is subject to rec
