(5) This column lists a cumulative 4-year total return of shareholders of our common stock and assumes the value of the investment (including reinvestment of dividends) was $100 on December 31, 2019 and tracks it through December 31, 2023. The stock price performance included in the column is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. (6) This column lists a cumulative 4-year total return of shareholders of a peer group calculated using the same method for column (f). For 2023 and 2022, the peer group used was that listed under the section titled "Benchmarking Against a Peer Group" on page 46 of this Proxy Statement. For 2021, the peer group used was the same as 2023 and 2022, with the omission of Union Pacific Corporation. For 2020, the peer group used was the same as 2021, with the addition of Kansas City Southern. Kansas City Southern was removed and replaced with Union Pacific Corporation due to the acquisition of Kansas City Southern by Canadian Pacific Railway Limited. Kansas City Southern was omitted from the 2021 peer group total shareholder return because its common stock was no longer listed for trading at the end of 2021. The cumulative 4-year total shareholder returns through December 31, 2023 of the former peer group (excluding both Union Pacific Corporation and Kansas City Southern), the current peer group, and the Company were $168.98, $162.05 and $177.00, respectively.
