Pursuant to the Policy, all Related Person Transactions are subject to reasonable prior review and approval by the Audit Committee. In determining whether to approve a Related Person Transaction, the Audit Committee considers the following factors, among others: (1) whether the transaction is in conformity with the Company’s Code of Conduct and is in the best interests of the Company; (2) whether the transaction would be in the ordinary course of the Company’s business; (3) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party; (4) the disclosure standards set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K; and (5) whether the transaction could call into question the status of any Director or Director nominee as an independent director under the rules of the NYSE.

In circumstances where it is not reasonable or practical to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting to review a proposed Related Person Transaction, the Chair of the Audit Committee may review and approve such Related Person Transaction in accordance with the Policy, subject to ratification by the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Further, if management becomes aware of any Related Person Transactions that were not previously approved under the Policy, such Related Person Transactions shall be presented to the Audit Committee as promptly as practicable for its action.

If a Related Person Transaction is ongoing, the Audit Committee will be responsible for overseeing and annually assessing the continued appropriateness of such Related Person Transaction and may establish guidelines for the Company’s management team to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related person.

There were no related person transactions in 2024.
