Chief executive’s pay
| Year | Total pay | Actually paid | $100 invested |
|---|---|---|---|

| 2024 | 6.15m | 12.58m | 250.00 |

| 2021 | 5.96m | 18.44m | 160.00 |
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.
