2024 Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee strives to achieve a balance between cash and equity compensation as well as long-term and short-term incentive compensation which aligns with our stockholders’ interests. A fundamental objective of the Compensation Committee is to make a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation contingent upon the Company's performance, as well as upon his or her own individual level of performance so that each executive officer is

compensated for results. The Compensation Committee furthers this objective through an annual performance-based cash incentive program and an equity incentive program which includes equity for which vesting is subject to performance of the Company's stock versus our industry over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee uses equity awards to align the remuneration potential for the executive officers with stockholder interests.

The following tables illustrate that a significant portion of our named executive officers' 2024 annual target compensation was performance-based.

Named Executive Officers' Total Target Compensation for 2024

Each year, the Compensation Committee assesses the competitive positioning of our named executive officers' target compensation relative to our peers and, if appropriate in consideration of each executive’s context, role and performance, adjusts their target compensation for the following year. The table below reflects the Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions for named executive officer target compensation in 2024, based on market competitiveness and the committee’s assessment of the Company’s and each executive’s performance in 2023, as applicable.

For Mr. Blazer, the table below shows the annualized value of his 2022 equity awards - his 2022 award was sized at $6,000,000 and was intended to cover equity grants for 2022, 2023 and 2024. In addition, the equity dollar-denominated amounts listed in the table that were delivered as performance-based RSUs ("PSUs") differ slightly from the amounts in the Stock Award column in the Summary Compensation table or the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table because the accounting treatment of our PSUs takes into account a Monte Carlo valuation when determining grant date fair
