Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 26 January 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 825.00k 787.17k 62.48
2024 1.26m 1.22m 79.61

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
