| (2) |     | Mr. Rasamny’s performance in 2024 warranted a bonus slightly above the high end of his Bonus Range.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| (3) |     | Mr. Soncini’s performance in 2024 warranted a bonus above the high end of his Bonus Range; however, it was determined that because he received a larger portion of his 2023 total compensation as long-term incentive compensation, his 2024 bonus payout would be at 60% of his base salary. |

#### Long-Term Incentive Compensation
<div align='center'>38</div>

No LTI grants were made in fiscal year 2024. The 2023 LTI Grants were front-loaded to deliver two years of target grant value to cover annual LTI grants in respect of fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

The 2023 LTI grants were delivered in 85% PSUs and 15% RSUs for Mr. McNulty, and 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs for Ms. Hoover and Messrs. Rasamny and Soncini. The PSUs granted in 2023 are eligible to be earned based upon the level of achievement of the Company’s compound annual growth rate of its adjusted book value per share, measured over a three-year period. The Company believes that adjusted book value per share is an important measure of the growth of the business and views it as a leading indicator of the Company’s long-term performance.

Provided below is detail on the grants of time-vested RSUs and PSUs to each of Mr. McNulty, Ms. Hoover, Mr. Rasamny and Mr. Soncini intended to cover annual grants in respect of fiscal years 2023 and 2024 as approved by the Compensation Committee on June 7, 2023.
