Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 2 April 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 10.83m 49.67m 277.00
2024 7.36m 11.28m 146.00
2023 4.57m 19.18m 113.00

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together 1.50%
BlackRock, Inc. 11.50%
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
