The Board fulfills this responsibility within the general governance framework provided by the following documents:

• Articles of Incorporation

• By-laws

| 2023 Proxy Statement | 11 |

| BOARD AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS |

• Corporate Governance Guidelines (compliant with the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and including guidelines for determining director independence and qualifications)

• Charters of the Board’s four standing committees (the Audit Committee; the Compensation and Management Development Committee ("Compensation Committee"); the Finance, Investment and Risk Management Committee ("FIRMCo"); and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee ("Nominating Committee"))

• Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

• Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Members of the Board of Directors

### DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Board annually reviews director independence under applicable law, the listing standards of the NYSE and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In addition, per our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in order to identify potential conflicts of interest and to monitor and preserve independence, any director who wishes to become a director of another for-profit entity must obtain the pre-approval of the Nominating Committee. The Board has affirmatively determined that all directors other than Mr. Swift are independent.

### BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

### ANNUAL BOARD EVALUATION PROCESS
The Nominating Committee oversees the Board's multi-step evaluation process to ensure an ongoing, rigorous assessment of the Board’s effectiveness, composition and priorities and to inform the Board's succession planning. In addition to the full Board evaluation process, the standing committees of the Board undertake separate self-assessments on an annual basis.
