Item 11. Executive Compensation

The information required to be disclosed by this item is incorporated herein by reference to our 2025 Proxy Statement.

As discussed under the heading “Explanatory Note”, we are restating our previously issued consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained within the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Pursuant to our Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), the Company determined that the only amounts potentially subject to recovery under the Clawback Policy are the annual cash incentives in respect of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024 and the first two tranches of the 2024 Employee XSP and the 2024 CEO Performance Award (together, the “XSP Awards”), all of which were subject to financial reporting measure-based vesting conditions (including, in the case of the XSP Awards, the Company’s stock price) that were achieved during fiscal year 2023 or fiscal year 2024. The Company has determined that the performance-based vesting conditions applicable to the annual cash incentives in respect of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024, and the operational performance metrics applicable to the XSP Awards, were not affected by the Restatement.

The Company further considered the potential impact of the Restatement on the Company stock price vesting condition of the XSP Awards, including that pursuant to the applicable plan terms such vesting condition is deemed satisfied upon the Company’s stock price attaining $247.40 and $309.25 (in each case, for a 90-day period) with respect to the first and second tranches of the XSP Awards, respectively. Although the first two Company stock price goals under the XSP Awards were achieved during fiscal year 2024, the first stock price goal of $247.40 was achieved prior to issuance of financial statements containing the error discussed above under the heading “Background of the Restatement”, and the Company therefore determined that the attainment of the first stock price goal was not affected by the Restatement.

As of the date of this Form 10-K/A, the Company’s analysis with respect to the impact of the Restatement on the Company stock price vesting condition on the second tranche of the XSP Awards is ongoing, although the Company does not expect that any recovery pursuant to the Clawback Policy will be necessary. The Company will provide the additional information required under Item 402(w) of Regulation S-K when such analysis is complete.
