 prior equity awards are also subject to the Corporate Transactions Policy, his employment agreement with us provides for equal or better vesting acceleration and therefore, such amounts are reflected under the column captioned "Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason in Connection with Corporate Transaction" in the table describing Mr. Gresham's benefits thereunder.

#### Retirement Policy
Our Retirement Policy for equity awards, which applies to all employees, provides for vesting of PRSU and RSU awards in connection with a qualifying retirement, with the settlement or payout of those awards to be made in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule pertaining to such awards. A qualifying retirement under the policy includes an employee that: (i) has attained the age of 55, (ii) has been continuously employed by us for at least 10 years prior to the date of the qualifying retirement, (iii) is not terminable by us for cause (as defined in the policy), and (iv) is not competing (as defined in the policy) with us. For purposes of the policy, any outstanding and unvested performance-based PRSU awards will remain outstanding until our Compensation Committee determines in the normal course (as if no qualifying retirement occurred) whether and to the extent, the performance criteria is achieved, and will become 100% vested to the extent our Compensation Committee determines such awards are earned, and, in general, with the settlement our payout of those awards to be made in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule pertaining to such awards. As of December 31, 2024, no NEOs are retirement eligible.

#### CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
Our estimated CEO to median employee pay ratio for 2024 is 78:1 and was calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. As disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table above, the annual total compensation for 2024 for George Gresham, our former President and CEO, who was appointed prior to the "employee population determination date" (as defined below), was $8,132,670. The annual total compensation for our median employee for 2024 was $104,429.

In calculating the CEO pay ratio, the SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions reflecting their unique employee populations and compensation practices. Therefore, our reported CEO pay ratio may not be comparable to CEO pay ratios reported by other companies due to differences in industries, geographical dispersion and employment and compensation practices, as well as the different estimates,
