 has the sole authority to retain and to terminate a compensation consultant and to approve the consultant’s fees and all other terms of the engagement. The compensation consultant advises the Compensation Committee on all matters related to the compensation of the NEOs and assists the Compensation Committee in interpreting internal and external data. The Compensation Committee has retained FW Cook as its compensation consultant since 2015. Annually, the Compensation Committee reviews and confirms the independence of FW Cook in light of SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. FW Cook prepares materials for, and participates in, all Compensation Committee meetings. The Compensation Committee has the ability to hold an executive session with the compensation consultant during each meeting at which the consultant is present. No members of management are present at the executive sessions unless requested by the Compensation Committee. FW Cook does not provide any services to the Company except for services provided to the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee makes an independent determination on all matters related to compensation of the NEOs. In making its determinations, the Compensation Committee may seek the views of the CEO on whether the existing compensation policies and practices continue to support our business objectives, the appropriateness of performance goals, the Company’s performance, and the contributions of the other NEOs to that performance. The Compensation Committee may also consult with the Chief Human Resources Officer or other members of Human Resources on matters related to the design, administration, and operation of our compensation program. The Compensation Committee has delegated responsibilities for implementing its decisions on compensation related matters to the Chief Human Resources Officer, who reports directly to the Compensation Committee regarding the actions taken under this delegation.

#### Role of Officers in Determining Compensation
The CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer provide analysis and recommendations on compensation issues and attend Compensation Committee meetings as requested by members of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also meets in executive sessions without any executive officers present. All decisions related to the compensation of the NEOs are ultimately made by the Compensation Committee.

#### Compensation Benchmarking and Survey Data
As part of establishing the total compensation packages for our NEOs for 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed compensation packages for executive officers holding comparable positions, based on similarity of job content, at comparable companies. Annually, FW Cook reviews a list of comparable companies for compensation benchmarking based on our industry, size and financial profile, including revenue and market capitalization. The list of comparable companies recommended by FW Cook was approved by the Compensation Committee in October 2023 and included no changes from the previous year. As such, the 2024 peer group consisted of the following companies:
