Committee MemberCommittee ChairAudit Committee Financial Expert Audit Committee Our Audit Committee currently is, and at all times in 2024 was, composed entirely of independent directors under the independence standards for such a committee established by the NYSE and the SEC. It is directly responsible and has sole authority for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm, which reports directly to the committee. The committee also prepares the report included in this proxy statement under “Audit Committee Report.” In addition, it assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling oversight responsibilities regarding, among other things:

| • | The company’s internal controls over financial reporting |

| • | The integrity of our financial statements |

| • | Our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements |

| • | The independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence |

| • | The performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm |

The Audit Committee helps ensure the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm by, among other things, confirming the mandated rotation of the lead audit partner in accordance with SEC rules. The Audit Committee and its Chair are directly involved in the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm’s lead audit partner, including by meeting with the lead audit partner candidate and discussing among the committee members and with management. We most recently rotated our lead audit partner in 2024 and expect to do so again in or before 2029. The board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate. It also has determined that each of Mr. Taylor, who chairs the committee, and Mss. Kirk and Weaving, who are members
