 the U.S., subject to certain annual limits. For reasons of security and time management, the Board requires the CEO to use the Company’s corporate aircraft for personal use as well as business travel. The aircraft is available for the Company’s use through a time-share arrangement with a fixed time-share charge for the right to use the aircraft and a per-trip charge. The Company calculates the incremental aircraft costs for the CEO’s personal use as the full amount of those per-trip charges attributable to his personal use. The fixed time-share charge is not included as an incremental cost, as the Company must pay this amount even if the CEO does not use the aircraft for personal travel. (6) Mr. Lamba was appointed CEO effective March 2022 and served as COO prior to that time. (7) Because Mr. Strauss was not an NEO in 2022 or 2023, only 2024 compensation is provided for him.
