Compensation Risk Assessment As part of our risk management activities, management reviews with the Compensation Committee its compensation policies and practices applicable to employees that could affect our assessment of risk and risk management. The Compensation Committee and management believe that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Vertiv. Tax and Accounting Considerations The tax and accounting impacts of our executive compensation program are among many factors that may be considered in determining the size and structure of our executive compensation program. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“ Code”), denies a publicly traded corporation a federal income tax deduction for remuneration in excess of $1 million per year per person paid to executives designated in Section 162(m) of the Code. We have not adopted a policy that requires that all compensation be deductible.
