#### Executive Summary
SHAREHOLDER FEEDBACK ON COMPENSATION Our shareholders have the right to approve annually, on an advisory non-binding basis, the compensation of our NEOs. At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, approximately 98% of the votes cast were in favor of our executive compensation program.

The CHR Committee will continue to consider the results of the vote for annual Say-on-Pay proposals when making compensation decisions for our NEOs and setting our compensation goals and philosophy. In addition, at various times throughout the year, the CHR Committee considers feedback, if any, from our shareholders as well as more general developments in executive compensation principles.
