### COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT
We annually assess our employee compensation programs to determine whether our programs appropriately balance risk and rewards and do not incentivize our employees, including the NEOs, to take excessive risks. This risk assessment is reviewed with the Committee. The Committee determined during its most recent review that risks arising from our employee compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse eﬀect on the Company. The Committee considered the following in its review:

• Our pay mix is balanced with a market-aligned mix between short-term and long-term incentives and cash and equity program elements;

• Our performance goals are tied to our business strategy with payouts based on formulaic financial and non-financial goals;

• Our short-term and long-term incentive programs include payout caps and threshold performance criteria;

• Long-term incentives vest over a number of years and earned PSUs (if any) are paid out on the third anniversary of the date of grant following the conclusion of the performance period;

• Executives are required to maintain a minimum level of stock ownership, as described below under "Other Compensation Policies - Stock Ownership Requirements", to encourage a long-term focus and align with stockholder interests; and

• We have adopted a clawback policy, applicable to both current and former executive officers, that requires the Company to recover excess incentive compensation paid if there is a restatement of financial results and allows the recovery of incentive compensation in the event of misconduct (including fraud) as discussed below in the section titled "Other Compensation Policies - Clawback Policy"
