| COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |

COMPONENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM MIX OF PAY For 2024, approximately 89 percent of the CEO’s target total compensation and, on average 70 percent of the other named executive officers’ target total compensation was variable, based on Company and individual performance. Variable compensation consists of the target Annual Incentive Plan payout, target Profit Sharing amount and the target value of long-term incentive awards granted. The percentages below are calculated by dividing each compensation element by target total compensation, which consists of base salary, target Annual Incentive Plan compensation, target Profit Sharing amount plus target long-term incentives. SALARIES For 2024, the Committee approved base salary increases of approximately 5 percent on average for Messrs. Farrell, Dierker, de Maynadier and Read to further align base salaries with the corresponding median levels of our Compensation Peer Group and industry survey data. The base salaries of our named executive officers in effect as of December 31, 2024 are set forth in the table below:

| Named Executive Officer |     | 2024 Base  Salary ($) |           |
