 the median of the annual total compensation of all employees to be 85:1.

We identified our median employee and determined the pay ratio using the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates described below.

We determined that, as of December 31, 2024, our employee population of full-time, part-time and temporary employees consisted of 256 individuals working at our parent company and all consolidated subsidiaries.

To identify the "median employee" from our employee population, we first determined the amount of each employee's "taxable earnings" for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024.

We then identified our median employee from our employee population by arraying and sorting the employees by the foregoing earnings measure and choosing the employee ranked in the middle of the population.

The annual total compensation for our Chairman and CEO represents the amount reported for our Chairman and CEO in the "Total" column of our 2024 Summary Compensation Table included on page 38 of this Proxy Statement.

The annual total compensation of our median employee was calculated based on the same methodology used to determine our named executive officers' compensation disclosed in our 2024 Summary Compensation Table.

We believe the pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
