Ongoing Engagement Throughout the year, the Board and each committee meet in executive session without management present. Directors are encouraged to provide feedback and input on how the Board can improve its effectiveness. Action steps are undertaken as appropriate, providing continuous improvement of the Board’s effectiveness. Board Nomination Process The Corporate Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size, composition and needs of the Board and its respective committees and the qualifications of candidates in light of these needs. The Corporate Governance Committee believes that it is important to maintain and consistently refresh a list of qualified potential candidates for nomination and engages a third-party search firm to assist in identifying such candidates. The evaluation of these candidates may be based solely upon information provided to the Corporate Governance Committee or may also include discussions with persons familiar with the candidate, one or more interviews of the candidate or other actions the Corporate Governance Committee deems appropriate, including the use of third parties to review candidates. The Corporate Governance Committee evaluates and recommends candidates for membership on the Board consistent with criteria established by the committee. Directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders. They must also have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. Director candidates also must have sufficient time available in the judgment of the Corporate Governance Committee to perform all Board and committee responsibilities. Members of the Board are expected to prepare for, attend and participate in Board and applicable committee meetings. 2025 PROXY STATEMENT 11

As part of the Board’s ongoing refreshment process, the Board looks to align the director composition with our short- and long-term strategies. In doing so, the Board intentionally looks to have directors with varying tenures such that the Board can benefit from new skills and perspectives, while maintaining continuity. The directors currently have tenures ranging from one to 10 years, with two of such directors having been added in the prior two years. Stock
