 companies included in the general industry survey data. While the Compensation and Talent Committee strives to position compensation near the median of the competitive market, adjustments are made to account for variations reflecting the skills, experience, and individual performance of the individual or the scope of responsibilities for that role. An independent assessment by Pearl Meyer validated that each NE Os’ target total direct compensation was appropriately positioned relative to similarly situated executives.

In 2024, the Compensation and Talent Committee established a formal compensation peer group that will be used starting in 2025. This addition reflects our commitment to adopting industry best practices and ensuring that our executive pay levels, structures, and practices are competitive, market-informed, and aligned with our strategic goals.

For purposes of setting pay levels for 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee will incorporate benchmarking data from the newly-developed compensation peer group into its decision-making process.
