The data is provided on an annual basis and is reviewed by the committee, along with other information, prior to approving any changes to compensation. The independence of the committee's members is reviewed and verified prior to the start of the annual compensation review process. Should a conflict present, those individuals with actual or perceived conflicts abstain from voting until such time as the conflict can be resolved or a replacement member is appointed to the committee. The committee's deliberations and decisions are guided by a written compensation philosophy and documented through written minutes taken during each meeting. The minutes include, among other things, the written materials distributed or presented during the meeting and the specific decisions taken at the meeting. The last review took place in 2022.”
