#### 542025 Proxy Statement

#### Compensation Matters

#### Pay and Performance Alignment
The Compensation and HR Committee understands the importance of aligning executive pay with key financial outcomes, in addition to other key indicators of performance. Two key financial metrics considered by the Compensation and HR Committee in determining executive pay are ROTCE and EPS (on an Underlying basis), which are reflected in the chart below along with asset size, CEO total compensation, and TSR for the last five years.

Since our IPO a decade ago, we have grown significantly while executing a thoughtful strategy to achieve our long-term goals. Despite a dynamic environment in 2024, we delivered solid financial performance with ROTCE and EPS in line with published guidance and effectively managed costs while investing for growth. Our stock outperformed peers across multiple timeframes, reflecting our franchise’s transformation and strategic momentum. While ROTCE and EPS declined year-over-year in line with industry trends, financial results remained solid, only modestly missing budget despite higher capital requirements and compressed interest margins, positioning us well for medium- and long-term growth.
