 establishing, implementing, and monitoring adherence to our Remuneration Policy. The Compensation Committee operates independently of management and receives remuneration advice and data from outside independent advisors.

The Compensation Committee charter authorises the committee to retain, as it deems necessary, independent advisors to provide advice and evaluation of the remuneration of Directors or Executive Officers, or other matters relating to remuneration, benefits, incentive, and equity-based remuneration plans and corporate performance. The Compensation Committee is further authorised to approve the fees and retention terms of any independent advisor that it retains.

In 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), an independent consulting firm, to serve as the Compensation Committee’s remuneration consultant, a role in which they continue to serve. After review and consultation with Meridian, the Compensation Committee has determined that the firm is independent as required under the NYSE rules and there is no conflict of interest resulting from retaining the firm currently or during 2024. Additionally, Meridian provides advice and consulting services solely pertaining to executive and director remuneration to the Compensation Committee and does not provide any additional services on behalf of management.
