Except for Mr. Kehoe, who is Chairman and CEO, all director nominees are independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of NYSE. In addition, all our Audit Committee and CNCG Committee members meet the independent director guidelines of NYSE. In assessing director independence, the Board took into account certain transactions, relationships, and arrangements involving certain directors and concluded that such transactions, relationships, and arrangements did not impair the independence of such directors.

#### Director Attendance
Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and committees that he/she served on during 2024 while he/she was in office.

The Board held four meetings and acted ten times by unanimous consent during 2024.

The Company does not have a policy about directors' attendance at our annual meetings of stockholders. All director nominees and directors at the time, attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

#### Committees of the Board
We have three standing committees of the Board: the Audit Committee; the CNCG Committee; and the Investment Committee.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Bensinger, who serves as Chair, Ms. Chia, Ms. Fortin and Mr. Ritchie. As previously discussed, Mr. Ritchie has decided not to stand for re-election to the Board and will no longer be a member of the Audit Committee when his term expires at the upcoming Annual Meeting. The Board anticipates that it will reduce the size of the Audit Committee from four to three members effective immediately prior to the Annual Meeting. NYSE listing rules require each company to have an audit committee of at least three members. Each member of the Audit Committee must meet independence standards under NYSE listing rules and SEC Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that each Mr. Bensinger, Ms. Chia, Ms. Fortin and Mr. Ritchie meets these independence standards. Additionally, the Board has determined that Messrs. Ritchie and Bensinger and Ms. Fortin qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and possess financial literacy as defined under NYSE listing rules.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to:

• the quality and integrity of our financial statements and our financial reporting process;

• the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

• the scope, progress and results of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit plan
