 reinvested in the stock. A 90-trading-day averaging period is used to determine the beginning and ending stock price values used to calculate the total shareholder return of the Company and the designated peer companies. This averaging period mitigates the impact on the long-term Relative TSR results of one-day or short-term stock price fluctuations at the beginning or end of the performance period. The change in stock price value from the beginning to the end of the period is divided by the beginning stock price value to determine TSR. During 2024, the PSUs that were granted to the NEOs in 2022 and had a performance period end on December 31, 2024, paid out at 194.2% of the target award amount because the Company’s Relative TSR was in the top 79th percentile.

RSUs and Stock Options with time-based vesting align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders by promoting the stability and retention of a high-performing executive team over the longer term.

The combination of these LTIP Award components ensures that our compensation is aligned with metrics that the Compensation Committee believes will optimize long-term total return for stockholders. We believe that our compensation program for our executives, including our NEOs, remains an important way to ensure that we align executive pay to financial performance. We also maintain financial discipline with respect to our compensation programs to limit dilution to our stockholders.

#### LTIP Award Grant Practices
We grant LTIP Awards upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee and approval of our Board.

Our LTIP Awards, if LTIP Awards are granted in a given year, are generally recommended by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the year and presented to the Board for approval at its regularly scheduled meeting during the first quarter of the year. Our Compensation Committee recommends to the Board for approval and our Board approves all LTIP Award grants on or before the grant date and neither the Compensation Committee nor the Board takes material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of LTIP Awards, including stock options, and we do not timethe disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

#### 2024 Average Mix of Annual Pay Elements
We believe that the (i) 2024 mix of pay elements, (ii) allocation between cash and equity and between short-term and long-term elements and (iii) differentiation between fixed and variable compensation provided appropriate incentives to motivate near-term performance, while simultaneously providing significant incentives to keep the executives focused on longer
