Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 24 April 2026
Chief executive’s pay
| Year | Total pay | Actually paid | $100 invested |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 8.66m | 21.46m | 205.10 |
| 2024 | 7.98m | 20.44m | 142.10 |
| 2023 | 8.73m | 9.44m | 83.40 |
| 2022 | 8.04m | 5.85m | 81.40 |
| 2021 | 9.08m | 9.58m | 99.00 |
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.
