Mr. Anderson's compensation will be prorated to reflect his partial year of service from August 1, 2024 until the Company's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. A description of non-executive director compensation is set forth in the section entitled "Director Compensation" in the Company's proxy statement filed March 20, 2024.
