 to provide compensation to our non-employee Directors that is:

• Aligned with the interests of our shareholders, in part by emphasizing equity compensation over cash;

• Sufficient to attract and retain the highest caliber individuals who meet the established criteria for Board membership;

• Reflective of the demands placed on Board and Committee members by a complex and geographically dispersed, global organization operating in highly competitive and dynamic markets; and

• Competitive based on compensation paid to directors at other firms under broadly similar circumstances.

With the assistance of its external compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee gathers data on board compensation for the same companies in the peer groups that the Committee uses as comparisons for executive compensation. (For more information on the compensation peer groups, see “How we make compensation

decisions,” which begins on page 46.) The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to use the same peer groups for both executive and board compensation.

When reviewing these studies and data, the Compensation Committee seeks information regarding:

• total mix of compensation;

• board retainers and meeting fees;

• compensation for serving on and for chairing Committees;

• equity ownership guidelines;

• equity vehicles used and vesting schedules; and

• compensation for Non-Executive Chairman.

Based upon internal guidelines, and with the objective of bringing compensation generally in line with the median compensation offered at peer companies, the Compensation Committee then seeks to make any adjustment to the overall compensation program deemed necessary to satisfy the above criteria approximately every other year. Consistent with this practice, effective June 1, 2024, the Compensation Committee increased both the cash and stock elements of our non-employee Director compensation by $15,000 annually to better align with the peer group benchmarking performed by the external compensation consultant.

Corporate Governance

Corporate governance principles and Board matters

In consideration of emerging corporate governance best practices, our Board has established a limit on the amount of equity and cash compensation that can be paid to a non-employee Director in a single year. The compensation limits, as described more fully in our Stock Award and Incentive Plans, provide that the total annual

compensation for any fiscal year for non-employee Directors will be limited to $750,000, including the value of both the annual cash retainer(s) and the grant date fair value of the annual equity award. The Board believes this is a meaningful limit.
