Pay vs. Performance (“PvP”) Tabular Disclosure — 2024

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation

S-K,

we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to our CEO and to our other NEOs and certain financial performance metrics of the Company. CAP, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company’s

pay-for-performance

philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
