The mix of target compensation for our named executive officers for 2024 reflected the objectives of our executive compensation program, as shown in the chart. The percentages shown represent percentages of average total target compensation, not average total compensation, and as a result do not match the percentages calculable from total compensation reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 16. For 2024, fixed pay represents the sum of salary, holiday bonus, perquisites and any retention bonuses; variable (“at risk”) pay represents equity awards and non-equity incentive plan compensation.
