DIGITALBRIDGE 2025 PROXY STATEMENT | 23

PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Director Compensation Determination of Compensation Awards The Compensation Committee has responsibility for making recommendations to our Board regarding non-employee director compensation. Our goal is the creation of a reasonable and balanced Board compensation program that aligns the interests of our Board with those of our stockholders. We use a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain highly-qualified candidates to serve on our Board. In setting director compensation, we consider:

| ■ | the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to us, |

| ■ | participation on Board committees, |

| ■ | the skill-level required by us of members of our Board, and |

| ■ | competitive pay practice data. |

In 2024, the Compensation Committee engaged an independent compensation consultant, Pay Governance, to assist in its review of competitive practice data regarding non-employee director compensation and to advise the Compensation Committee in connection with making recommendations to our Board with respect to the amount and form of such compensation. Following the Compensation Committee’s comprehensive review of competitive practice data and in consideration of advice provided by Pay Governance, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board, and our Board approved, continuing the non-employee director compensation program described below for 2024. Non-Employee Directors During 2024, our non-employee directors’ fees were as follows:
