#### Compensation and Human Capital (“C&HC”) Committee
The C&HC Committee consists of independent directors pursuant to applicable NYSE rules and its primary responsibilities are to (i) recommend to the full Board the total compensation (e.g. base salary, management incentive cash bonus, and equity compensation) for the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Technology Officer, which compensation is then approved by all the Company’s independent directors, (ii) review and approve the total compensation for the Company’s other executive officers and senior management, (iii) administer the Company’s cash incentive bonus plans for senior management and equity incentive plans, and (iv) periodically review certain aspects of the Company’s policies relating to compensation and human capital management. The C&HC Committee periodically reviews succession planning for the Co-CEOs and other key positions, as determined by the C&HC Committee and management, and reviews and monitors management policies and strategies relating to the Company’s human capital management function including, for example, those relating to recruitment, retention, engagement, and talent development.

In connection with each such selection, the C&HC Committee considers factors that could bear on the independence of each such advisor. Following the completion of each fiscal year, the C&HC Committee evaluates the levels of success of the Co-CEOs, executive officers, and other senior management of the Company in achieving their goals during the prior year and, based upon the degree of their success, determines the amount of bonuses (if any) payable to the Co-CEOs, executive officers, and other senior management of the Company and the extent to which restricted shares with performance criteria are earned and will vest (subject to continued employment).

The C&HC Committee held five meetings during 2024.
