Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 13 April 2026
Chief executive’s pay

|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 788.34k | 833.31k | 148.57 |
| 2024 | 449.48k | 316.31k | 82.68 |

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.
