ShareholderEngagement

Our Board of Directors and management place a high priority and value on direct engagement with our shareholders and prospective shareholders. Our President and CEO and our Chief Financial Officer, sometimes with the involvement of other executive officers or directors, regularly hold meetings with significant shareholders and/or prospective shareholders at investor conferences or in our corporate headquarters offices, and these executives and directors also engage in similar discussions with investors via telephone or videoconference facilities, including in the ordinary course of our quarterly public earnings calls. During 2024, excluding our quarterly earnings calls, our senior executives held approximately 121 individual meetings with current or potential investors or their representatives, including four of our top ten current shareholders. These meetings cover a wide range of topics involving the Company’s strategies, compensation policies and ongoing business activities. Our President and CEO and our Chief Financial Officer communicate the significant topics discussed and any notable concerns raised by our shareholders to our Board of Directors at our regular Board meetings.
