2025 Proxy Statement 31

Director Compensation

The compensation elements and amounts are established by the Board after a review of data prepared by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. The data and report show competitive director compensation levels for peer companies and the Company’s peer group. More information about the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant report and the methods for determining competitive compensation can be found under “Basis for Determining Executive Compensation” on page 51.

In FY 2024, the Compensation Committee undertook a review of the compensation paid to our non-employee directors relative to the Company’s peer group, consistent with the Committee’s typical review of director compensation every two years. The Compensation Committee did not make any changes in FY 2025.
