Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 23 March 2026
Chief executive’s pay
| Year | Total pay | Actually paid | $100 invested |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 8.84m | 9.79m | 274.81 |
| 2024 | 8.18m | 11.22m | 248.31 |
| 2023 | 7.76m | 9.12m | 168.69 |
| 2022 | 7.08m | 6.54m | 131.56 |
| 2021 | 5.03m | 6.26m | 148.18 |
Ownership
Directors and executive officers, together
3.83%
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.
