 made to one of more Covered Employees based on the restated financial results, then the Board is entitled to recover the overpayment. Covered Employees include current and former executive officers and any current or former employee required by the Company to provide backup certifications for quarterly financial reports. The policy permits clawback from any Covered Employee who received an overpayment, irrespective of whether the executive contributed to the fraud or willful misconduct. The policy applies to any overpayment received after the effective date of the policy, based on the affected consolidated financial statements for up to three years after an incentive-based compensation award is earned.

On October 2, 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted an additional executive compensation clawback policy (the “Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy”) in accordance with Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. Under the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, in the event of an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company or Operating Partnership with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Company is required to recover from executive officers of the Company incentive compensation paid to executive officers in any form that the executive officers would not have been entitled to receive based on the restated amounts.

None of the 2024 equity awards to our executive officers were made within any of these
