#### Director Independence
The NYSE listing standards require that the Company have a majority of independent directors and provide that no director will qualify as “independent” for these purposes unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company. Additionally, the listing standards set forth a list of relationships and transactions that would prevent a finding of independence if a director or an immediate family member of that director were a party.

On an annual basis, our board of directors undertakes a review of the independence of the nominees. In accordance with the NYSE listing standards, we do not consider a director to be independent unless the board determines (i) the director meets all NYSE independence requirements and (ii) the director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). Members of the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees must also meet applicable independence tests of the NYSE and the SEC. In connection with this determination, each director and executive officer completes a questionnaire which requires disclosure of, among other topics: any transactions or relationships between any director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, its independent registered public accounting firm or any advisors to the Compensation and Human Capital Committee; any transactions or relationships between any director or any member of his or her immediate family and members of the senior management of the Company or their affiliates; and any charitable contributions to not-for-profit organizations for which our directors or immediate family members serve as executive officers. There were no material director-related relationships, transactions or contributions in 2024.

Our board has determined that all nine of our non-employee director nominees are independent in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards. All of the members of the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, Nominating/Corporate Governance, and Compliance and Quality of Care Committees satisfy those independence tests. Additionally, our board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC regulations.
