In early 2024, FW Cook conducted an executive compensation review using peer group and market data from nationally recognized published surveys to provide the Human Capital Committee context on competitive compensation for comparable executive positions. There is no targeted benchmark level of compensation, but the data are used as reference points to guide the Committee in its efforts to set executive compensation levels and program targets at competitive levels for comparable roles in the marketplace. The Committee believes that executive pay should be determined using a holistic approach, taking into account a wide variety of factors, such as the importance of each executive officer’s role to the company, individual expertise, experience and performance, retention concerns, internal parity and relevant compensation trends in the marketplace, in making its final compensation determinations. 44

2024 Executive Compensation in Detail Base Salary Base salary is the fixed element of an executive’s cash compensation, which the company pays to afford each executive the baseline financial security necessary to focus on his or her day-to-dayresponsibilities. Base salaries for the executives are set at competitive levels to attract and retain highly qualified and talented leaders. The Human Capital Committee reviews and approves base salaries for the executives annually, however, executive base salaries are not subject to automatic annual adjustments. The Human Capital Committee reviews market data and base salaries of executive officers in the company’s compensation peer group and considers the executive’s experience, scope of responsibility, importance to the company and individual performance when setting base salary. Taking into account those factors, no salary adjustments were made in 2024. Set forth below are the 2023 and 2024 base salaries for our NEOs:
