#### Fees Earned or Paid in Cash (column (a))
Non-employee Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their annual cash retainer (payable in quarterly installments in arrears), as well as meeting, Lead Director, Non-Executive Chairman, and committee chair fees, into the Deferred Compensation Plan. Fees are prorated based upon time served as a Director, Non-Executive Chairman, or committee chair in any applicable quarter.

#### Stock Awards (column (b))
Our non-employee Directors’ stock compensation consisted of an annual award (payable in quarterly installments in arrears) of fully vested common shares (deferrable by election). We determined the number of shares to be granted each quarter by dividing the applicable dollar value by the arithmetic average of the high and low stock price on the last trading day of the applicable quarter and rounding to a whole share as partial shares are not issued. We used the following quarterly per share fair market values, calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“FASB ASC Topic 718”), in calculating the number of shares: March 28, 2024 — $43.40 (808 shares); June 28, 2024 — $43.65 (806 shares); September 30, 2024 — $50
