 compensation of all employees, including part-time employees.

• We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.

• To identify the “median employee” from our entire employee population, annual total compensation included the actual base salary, bonus, grants under Company stock plans, benefits payments, premiums / allowances, and any overtime paid during the 12 months ended December 31, 2023, but excluding Company paid pension contributions.

• Using this methodology, we calculated the median employee's total annual compensation in the same manner as we calculate the total compensation of our NEOs for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table plus the value of benefits not reporting in the Summary Compensation Table. The CEO pay ratio was then determined by dividing the total compensation as calculated above for the CEO by the total compensation for the median employee, resulting in a CEO pay ratio of 109:1.

Pay versus Performance Table

As discussed in the CD&A above, our Compensation Committee has implemented an executive compensation program designed to link a substantial portion of our NEOs’ realized compensation to the achievement of Noble’s financial, operational and strategic objectives, and to align our executive pay with changes in the value of our shareholders’ investments. As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table sets forth additional compensation information for our NEOs for fiscal years 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
