Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 16 April 2026
Chief executive’s pay
| Year | Total pay | Actually paid | $100 invested |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 4.15m | 5.40m | 176.69 |
| 2024 | 3.69m | 3.53m | 168.85 |
| 2023 | 3.54m | 4.17m | 153.03 |
| 2022 | 3.62m | 4.76m | 134.84 |
| 2021 | 3.00m | 4.94m | 137.74 |
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.
