#### Stockholder Input on Executive Compensation
The Board strongly believes in proactive engagement, communication and transparency with the Company’s stockholders. During 2024, the Company, led by our senior management and Board, increased its strong level of engagement with stockholders, and met with stockholders representing approximately 73% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock. This engagement included participation in investor conferences, individual one-on-one meetings and correspondence with stockholders in which we have discussed our financial performance, strategy, corporate governance, Corporate Responsibility practices and executive compensation program.

At the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), 81% of votes were cast in favor of our say-on-pay proposal. Our Compensation Committee carefully reviews voting results and feedback from our stockholder engagement activities when making

executive compensation decisions and remains committed to open and ongoing stockholder engagement. The insights we have gained from our stockholder engagement over the years have been helpful to management and the Compensation Committee in informing our executive compensation disclosure and practices.

In meetings leading up to and following our 2024 annual meeting, including with those stockholders who did not support our executive compensation proposal in 2024, our stockholders expressed general satisfaction with our approach to executive compensation. Further, stockholders were appreciative of the focus of our long-term incentive program on performance-based equity, as well as the appropriate calibration of below-target incentive plan payouts in recent years. This year, the Committee took this feedback into account, along with our strategic and business priorities, as well as the consistent support received on our say-on-pay proposal at the 2024 Annual Meeting and made a number of enhancements to our disclosure and program design. These changes include the addition of a letter from our Compensation Committee describing the inputs and process that went into our executive compensation
