The Company follows a pay-for-performance philosophy. Our compensation plans are designed to focus NEOs on goals that align with business strategy, operating performance and shareholder values. In support of our philosophy, performance-based awards pay out only when pre-determined results are achieved. The 2025 EIP Awards were determined based on the achievement of pre-established performance measures set by the Committee under the shareholder-approved Company 2024 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”).
On February 19, 2026, the Committee also awarded Restricted Stock Unit Grants (“RSUs”) to certain of the Company’s NEOs pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The RSUs awarded to the NEOs are shown in the table below:
| Grantee | RSUs |

| Peter S. Ho | — |
| Bradley S. Satenberg | 6,330 |
| Dean Y. Shigemura | — |
| S. Bradley Shairson | 7,596 |
