Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 1 June 2026
Chief executive’s pay
| Year | Total pay | Actually paid | $100 invested |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 17.60m | (22.51m) | 37.67 |
| 2024 | 4.98m | (17.28m) | 34.24 |
| 2023 | 5.04m | 16.13m | 41.58 |
| 2022 | 4.48m | (156.08m) | 35.24 |
| 2021 | 5.37m | (94.00m) | 103.76 |
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.
