The compensation committee may delegate its authority to subcommittees or the chair of the compensation committee. Although the compensation committee does not currently do so, it may delegate to officers of the Company the authority to make equity grants to employees or consultants of the Company who are not directors of the Company or executive officers of the Company under the Company’s equity plans. The compensation committee has the right, in its sole discretion, to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, independent legal counsel and other advisers. The compensation committee periodically engages Compensia, an outside consultant to advise on compensation-related matters. For a discussion regarding the role of management and compensation consultants in the compensation-setting process, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation‑Setting Process.”

Our compensation committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE. Our compensation committee held seven meetings during the fiscal year 2025.
