36 TABLE OF CONTENTS We conduct shareholder outreach campaigns in the spring and in the fall. Our engagements in the spring are primarily focused on ballot items up for a shareholder vote at our annual meeting of shareholders. Our engagements in the fall generally focus on voting outcomes from our prior annual meeting of shareholders — including direct shareholder feedback on how they voted on ballot items — as well as our environmental, social, and governance activities and initiatives. The fall engagement also presents an opportunity to discuss with shareholders developments in their methodologies and analyses and potential future areas of focus. In both the spring of 2024 leading up to our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and during the fall of 2024 following our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, we contacted shareholders comprising approximately 70% of our outstanding shares to invite them to engage with us. Combined, we engaged with shareholders representing approximately 50% of our outstanding shares, discussing with these shareholders the ballot items and voting outcomes from our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders as well as general governance, compensation, corporate responsibility and sustainability matters. COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS The Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders and other interested parties. Shareholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board, any Board committee, or any chair of any such committee by mail. To communicate with the Board, any individual director, or any group or committee of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or any such individual director or group or committee of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent c/o the corporate secretary to our principal executive offices at the address on the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this Proxy Statement. All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the office of the general counsel for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to one or more of our directors and then forwarded promptly to each addressee. In the case of communications to the Board or any group or committee of directors, the office of the general counsel will distribute copies of the contents to each director who is a member of the Board or of the group or committee to which the correspondence is addressed. 37
