From time to time, in accordance with the provisions of its charter, our Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for non-employee directors using a process similar to the one used for determining compensation for our executive officers, which is discussed in detail in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below. Our Compensation Committee periodically reviews the market practice for non-employee director compensation at companies in our peer group in consultation with its independent compensation consultant.

Under its charter, our Compensation Committee has the authority to retain outside counsel or other advisors. Our Compensation Committee oversees the engagement of its independent compensation consultant and any other consultants it engages in addition to or in replacement of its independent consultant. The independent compensation consultant selected by our Compensation Committee works directly with our Compensation Committee (and not on behalf of management) to assist our Compensation Committee in satisfying its responsibilities and will not undertake projects for management without our Compensation Committee’s approval. Our Compensation Committee selected Mercer, LLC (“Mercer”) as its independent compensation consultant to provide advice and ongoing recommendations on executive compensation matters for 2024 as described in more detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Role of Consultant”. During 2024, Mercer also provided non-executive compensation services to the company and served as an investment advisor to our 401(k) plan. The decision to engage Mercer for these non-executive compensation services was made by management; however, all such services were ultimately approved by the Compensation Committee. No individual consultant or personnel who provided executive compensation services received any additional compensation as a result of Mercer providing these other services. In the process of selecting Mercer as its compensation consultant, our Compensation Committee considered Mercer’s independence by taking into account the factors prescribed by the NYSE listing rules. Based on this evaluation, the Committee determined that no conflict of interest existed with respect to Mercer.
