#### Election of Directors
The Board currently has 12 members, and directors are elected annually for terms of one year. Based on the recommendation of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, the Board has nominated the following 11 directors, each to serve a one-year term expiring on the date of our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2026 and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or his or her earlier resignation or removal: Arthur G. Angulo, Roger A. Cregg, Curtis C. Farmer, M. Alan Gardner, Derek J. Kerr, Richard G. Lindner, Jennifer H. Sampson, Barbara R. Smith, Robert S. Taubman, Nina G. Vaca and Michael G. Van de Ven.

Nancy Avila will not be standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. She plans to serve out her current term as a director until April 29, 2025.

Our nominees include individuals who:

• Are experienced in leading complex, highly-regulated companies (including banks and other financial services entities)
