Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 29 October 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2026 16.34m (6.96m) 131.89
2025 14.01m 46.10m 196.37
2024 11.27m 31.80m 130.27

Baron Capital Group, Inc. 10.88%
BlackRock, Inc 10.41%
Linonia Partners Fund LP 9.26%
Vanguard Portfolio Management 5.59%
Vanguard Capital Management 5.44%
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
