Dear [Shareholder],

Hello. We are reaching out to request a call ahead of our Annual Meeting on May 23rd.

In particular, we would be interested in discussing our compensation program, which is designed to link pay with performance and has evolved in recent years to address feedback we have received from shareholders. We would like to share additional context regarding our Management Development and Compensation Committee’s process for setting targets across our compensation program in 2023, and the outcomes that were achieved during the year.

Our team, including [members of our board], is available for a conference call between now and our annual meeting on May 23, 2024. Please let us know what works for your team and we will do our best to accommodate your schedules.

We look forward to connecting with you.

Regards,
