#### NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Non-employee Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their annual cash retainer under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“Deferred Compensation Plan”). Directors may also elect to have their cash retainer converted into our common shares. These shares, as well as the annual retainer consisting of fully vested common shares, may also be deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan. In 2024, we awarded shares to Directors under the 2020 Plan. Deferred compensation for the participating Directors, whether in the form of cash or common shares, is recorded in a recordkeeping account that reflects the amounts deferred and any applicable notional earnings. Dividends, if any, on the deferred common shares are accrued for the benefit of the participating Directors.
