The HRC Committee’s incentive compensation determinations are inclusive of a risk assessment for each executive, which is reviewed by the HRC Committee. The corporate component earnout can also be reduced based on the aggregate performance on the risk assessment for the Executive Committee. In addition, each NEO’s equity awards are subject to 100% forfeiture during the vesting period and clawback following settlement of such awards, and NEOs’ cash incentive awards are subject to 100% clawback, in each case based on ongoing risk assessments, under our comprehensive clawback policies.We are also subject to regulation by various U.S. and international governmental and regulatory agencies with respect to executive compensation matters and how risk factors into, and is affected by, compensation decisions. Our programs have been designed to comply with these regulations, and the HRC Committee regularly monitors new and proposed regulations as they develop to determine if additional action is required.Based on the above, we believe that our compensation plans and practices are well-balanced and do not encourage imprudent risk-taking that threatens our company’s value or creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company.Report of the HRC CommitteeThe HRC Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” with management. On the basis of such review and discussions, the HRC Committee recommended to the Board that the “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” be included in the company’s 2024 Annual Report and this proxy statement.By: The Human Resources and Compensation CommitteeElizabeth E.
