At its meeting on February 16, 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company&#8217;s performance against the 2023 Bonus Scale and determined that the Company achieved 95% on the 2023 Bonus Scale.</span></p>

The Committee had retained the discretion to increase or decrease an Officer&#8217;s bonus payout by up to 10% from the baseline target bonus, if the Officer was deemed to have performed &#8220;successfully&#8221; in 2023, and by up to 30% if the Officer was deemed to have performed &#8220;exceptionally.&#8221; The Committee had also retained the discretion to decrease an Officer&#8217;s 2023 bonus payout to as low as $0 if the Officer was deemed to have performed &#8220;unsatisfactorily.&#8221;</span><span style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;min-width:fit-content;"> </span></p>
