Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 22 December 2025

Chief executive’s pay

2025 15.40m 25.16m 172.60
2024 16.43m 3.31m 130.30

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together 0.76%
The Vanguard Group 11.88%
BlackRock, Inc. 7.60%
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
