Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 27 February 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 19.08m (892.31k) 55.00
2024 19.06m 15.04m 88.00
2023 20.83m 22.50m 114.00

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together 0.50%
The Vanguard Group 11.40%
BlackRock, Inc. 6.60%
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
