 inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent for purposes of serving on the Board and any of its committees.

As a result of this review, the Board has determined, pursuant to the listing standards of the NYSE and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, that all director nominees are independent for purposes of serving on the Board of Directors, except Mr. Verma who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In making such determination, the Board also considers any “related party transactions” entered into between the Company and the applicable director or director nominee, regardless of whether such transaction is required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

#### Standing Committees
The Board of Directors has four standing committees: the Executive Committee; the Audit Committee; the Governance Committee; and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

The Executive Committee. The Executive Committee currently consists of Mr. Crawford, Jr. as Chair, and Messrs. Crawford, Patel, and Verma as members. The Executive Committee may exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors between its meetings with respect to all matters not specifically reserved by law to the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee held one meeting during 2024.

The Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has adopted and operates under a written charter that is reviewed by the Audit Committee annually and is approved by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Donner as Chair, and Ms. Beale, Mr. Bready, Ms. Hannusch, and Mr. Williams as members. Mr. Donner was appointed Chair of the Audit Committee on March 14, 2024. The Board has determined that all the members of the Audit Committee are independent under NYSE listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, the Board has determined that Mr. Williams, Mr. Bready and Mr. Donner are “Audit Committee Financial Experts” as defined by Item 407(d) of SEC Regulation S-K. In making such determination, the Board took into consideration, among other things, the express provision in Item 407(d) of SEC Regulation S-K which provides that the determination that a person has the attributes of an audit committee financial expert shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, nor shall it affect the duties and obligations of other Audit Committee members or the Board.
