 met these objectives and has enabled us to attract, motivate, and retain talented executives who have helped us achieve strong financial results. Please refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a detailed discussion of the performance goals addressed by our incentive programs and our compensation programs generally. Moreover, we believe that our compensation program is aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and contributed to our achievement of an average annual total stockholder return over the past three, five, and ten years of 1.8 percent, 9.5 percent, and 11.7 percent, respectively. At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we asked our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our stockholders approved compensation to our named executive officers, with approximately 88.6 percent of votes cast in favor of our say-on-payresolution. We value this positive endorsement by our stockholders of our executive compensation program. After soliciting input from and engaging with various major stockholders regarding our executive compensation program, the Compensation & Human Capital Committee assessed our compensation programs and found our current mix of performance metrics to be balanced and supportive of our pay-for-performancephilosophy, consistent with the solid support expressed by our stockholders. Accordingly we continued our general approach to executive compensation for 2024. We believe our programs are effectively designed, are working well, and are aligned with the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation & Human Capital Committee will continue to seek and consider stockholder feedback in the future. Based on stockholder feedback, the Committee approved the addition of performance stock units and restricted stock units as long-term incentive vehicles beginning in 2023. Accordingly, our Board of Directors recommends that our stockholders vote in favor of the following resolution: RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation discussion and analysis, the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This is an advisory vote, which means that the stockholder vote is not binding on us. Nevertheless, the Compensation & Human Capital Committee values the opinions expressed by our stockholders, will continue to seek and consider stockholder feedback in the future, and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
