Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 9 October 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2026 28.35m 713.54m 543.42
2025 3.72m 34.48m 122.90
2024 101.50m 108.40m 99.82

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together less than 1%
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
