✔ | Equity awards as a significant component of annual base compensation. In 2025, the grant date fair value of Equity Awards, as a percentage of base annual compensation (i.e., salary, cash bonus and the grant date fair value of the Equity Awards), were 39.6% and 45.5% for Messrs. Callan and Ricketts, respectively. | ||||
✔ | Mitigate undue risk in compensation programs. The executive compensation program includes features that reduce the possibility of our executive officers, either individually or as a group, making excessively risky business decisions that could maximize short-term results at the expense of longer-term value. | ||||
✔ | Balance of short-term and long-term incentives. Our incentive programs provide an appropriate balance between shorter and longer-term incentives. | ||||
✔ | Capped equity award payouts. The number of shares that can be earned pursuant to Equity Awards are capped. | ||||
✔ | Independent compensation committee. Our compensation committee is comprised entirely of independent directors and it oversees risks with respect to our compensation practices. | ||||
✔ | Clawback policy. We are entitled to recoup compensation or cause the forfeiture of compensation as more fully described under “Governance of the Company — Clawbacks.” | ||||
✔ | Stock ownership guidelines. All of our named executive officers and non-management directors own a meaningful amount of our stock as required by these guidelines — see “Governance of the Company — Stock Ownership Guidelines.” | ||||
