#### Overview of 2024 Pay Decisions

#### 2024 Pay Mix
A majority of compensation for our NEOs in 2024 was “at-risk” compensation in the form of annual cash and long-term incentive awards that are contingent in part on Company performance and stock price performance. See pages 3- 4and 38- 42for details on the metrics we use in our compensation program and why they were chosen.

#### 2024 Total Direct Compensation
In making annual pay decisions, the CHR Committee focuses primarily on “total direct compensation,” which includes three principal elements: base salaries, annual cash incentives and long-term incentives. These elements are discussed in detail on pages 38- 42.
