 Committee bases its executive compensation decisions on the following:

• Compensation should be linked to company, investment and individual performance;

• Compensation should be competitive;

• Compensation decisions focus on total compensation;

• Compensation decisions reflect our long-term approach to investment, business and human capital management; and

• Equity awards, in the form of forfeitable restricted stock units that vest over several years, should constitute a significant percentage of total compensation.

At the company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 93.55% of the votes cast by the company’s shareholders approved the compensation of its named executive officers as described in the company’s 2024 proxy statement. The Compensation Committee believes this affirms shareholders’ support of the company’s approach to executive compensation.

While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Compensation Committee intends to carefully consider the results of the vote.

#### Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation of the company’s named executive officers.
