#### Role of Our Talent and Compensation Committee
Our Talent and Compensation Committee approves our executive compensation and all executive benefit plans and policies. The Talent and Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board and consists entirely of directors who are non-employee directors and independent for purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. In 2024, our Talent and Compensation Committee approved the compensation for all of our NEOs. Our CEO assesses NEO individual performance and compensation, excluding his own performance and compensation, each year and makes recommendations regarding each element of NEO compensation to the Talent and Compensation Committee. The Talent and Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the CEO and determines and approves his compensation based on this evaluation. The Talent and Compensation Committee also has oversight of senior management pay and the effectiveness of our executive compensation and benefits programs.

In 2024, the Talent and Compensation Committee retained the services of Compensation Advisory Partners LLC (“CAP”), an independent compensation consultant, who worked with management only at our Talent and Compensation Committee’s direction to interpret results, make recommendations and assist in setting compensation levels for our executive officers. In 2025, our Talent and Compensation Committee
