Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 6 April 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 5.82m (242.49k) 200.89
2024 6.94m 11.33m 290.23
2023 4.99m 6.54m 188.98

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together 0.40%
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
