#### Executive Compensation

### Shareholder Engagement and Say-on-Pay Results
The Board and the HR Committee value the benefits of maintaining a dialogue with our shareholders and understanding their views. During 2024, we engaged in a robust shareholder outreach program with 75% of our top 25 holders of our stock, where we solicited the feedback of our shareholders on topics including our performance, strategy, risk management, corporate governance, sustainability-related initiatives, and executive compensation. Members of our Investor Relations team along with certain of our senior executives, including at times our CEO, CFO, and group presidents, met with shareholders in both in-person and virtual engagements throughout the year. We partnered with an investor relations firm to perform a sustainability materiality assessment survey providing further insight into the drivers important to our shareholders. The continued receipt of positive feedback from our shareholder engagement program signals valuable support from our shareholders to our approach to executive compensation.

| 99% |     | SHAREHOLDER VOTE                              
 in favor of Say-on-Pay at 2024 Annual Meeting |

The HR Committee considered the result of our Say-on-Pay vote as an additional sign of our shareholders' support of our executive compensation philosophy and plans. Our NEOs' 2024 compensation will be the subject of the advisory, non-binding Say-on-Pay vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The HR Committee will consider the outcome of future Say-on-Pay votes and shareholder engagement as it evaluates the design of the executive compensation programs and the related specific compensation decisions.
