Shareholder Engagement and Responsiveness to 2024 Say on Pay Vote

In addition to our regular investor relations efforts, we have a robust shareholder outreach program. Shareholder feedback is shared with the Board and helps to inform enhancements to our executive compensation, governance and corporate citizenship practices.

In 2024, we reached out to shareholders representing approximately 69% of our outstanding common shares. In the spring, we held meetings with holders representing approximately 9% of our outstanding shares and in the fall, we held meetings with shareholders representing approximately 29% of our outstanding shares. Michael Millegan, our Human Capital and Compensation Committee Chair, and our Board Chair, W. Marston Becker, led engagement efforts and actively participated in all of the meetings.

Our 2024 Say on Pay vote received support from 96% of the votes cast. During our comprehensive outreach campaign, we sought to better understand our shareholders’ perspectives on our executive pay programs and the overall feedback was positive.
