| Director Compensation |

Our director compensation program is designed both to attract and fairly compensate highly qualified, non-employee directors to represent and act in the best interests of our stockholders, employees, and the communities we serve. For the purpose of determining non-employee director compensation for 2024, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee engaged Compensia, an independent third-party consulting firm that specializes in analyzing compensation practices and trends, to evaluate the competitiveness of our program. As part of its analysis for 2024, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee considered the following:

• the corporate governance environment as well as recent trends and developments relating to director compensation;

• amounts payable under, and the various components of, our director compensation program; and

• the aggregate director compensation cost, in comparison to boards of directors of the same group of peer companies used in determining executive management compensation (1) .

Following its review, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee determined that our non-employee director compensation practices continued to be, in aggregate, generally aligned with market norms and emerging best practices and, as such, no changes were necessary for our 2024 non-employee director compensation program.
