PAY VS. PERFORMANCE |
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation and the Company’s financial performance. The following required table discloses information on “compensation actually paid” (referred to as “CAP” throughout this section), as defined by Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and (on average) to our other NEOs (“Non-PEO
NEOs”) during the specified years with TSR and net income financial measures, as well as a Company-selected measure of one-year
relative TSR. The Company selected this measure as the most important in linking CAP to our NEOs for 2025 to Company performance, as relative TSR was the financial measure used for the majority of our 2023-2025 performance awards (totaling two-thirds
of target long-term incentive awards granted to our executives for that performance cycle), as described in more detail on page 44. Value of Initial Fixed $100 Investment Based On: |

For 2025, reflects the cumulative total shareholder return from December 31, 2020-December 31, 2025. For 2024, reflects the cumulative total shareholder return from December 31, 2020-December 31, 2024.

For a description of the separate peer group used by the Compensation and Leadership Committee, for purposes of determining compensation paid to our executive officers, refer to the section of this Proxy Statement on page 52 titled “Comparative Market Data – 2025 Peer Group.” |
| (7) | Reflects after-tax net income attributable to shareholders prepared in accordance with GAAP for each of the years shown. We do not use net income in our compensation programs. |
| (8) | Reflects the Company’s percentile rank based on one-year TSR relative to the S&P 500, which, for 2025, represents, in the Company’s assessment, the most important financial performance measure used to link NEO compensation actually paid to company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. We have included one-year relative TSR in the table in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. However, percentile rank based on three-year TSR relative to the S&P 500 is the measure actually used in the Company’s compensation programs. The Company’s three-year percentile rank was 70th for 2025, 92nd for 2024, 89th for 2023, 78th for 2022 and 79th for 2021. This three-year measure represented 57% of 2025 target total compensation for Mr. Brown and an average of 47% of 2025 target total compensation for other NEOs. For additional detail regarding the calculation of this three-year measure, refer to the section of this Proxy Statement on page 51 titled “2025 Annual Compensation Elements – Long-Term Incentives – LTI Components.” |
