What We Do		What We Do Not Do
ü	Pay-For-Performance — We align the interests of our executives and shareholders through the use of performance-based annual cash incentive compensation and performance-based long-term equity incentive compensation.	û	Automatic Salary Increases or Guaranteed Bonus Payments
ü	Double-Trigger Change in Control — A “change in control” by itself is not sufficient to trigger payments, it must also be accompanied by a qualifying termination.	û	Income or Excise Tax Gross Ups
ü	Clawback Policies — We have a comprehensive executive officer clawback policy regarding the recoupment of incentive-based compensation in the event of a financial restatement in accordance with applicable law and Nasdaq listing requirements. We also maintain the discretionary ability to clawback incentive-based compensation if an executive engages in "detrimental activity.”	û	Permit Pledging & Hedging of our Securities — We maintain robust anti-pledging and anti-hedging policies that prohibit any short sale activities by our NEOs and independent directors.
ü	Share Ownership Guidelines — We maintain rigorous and competitive share ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers, including the requirement that our CEO accumulate a holding of 10 times his base salary; that our other NEOs accumulate 5 times their base salaries; and that our independent directors accumulate 8 times their annual cash retainers.	û	Provide Defined Benefits / Supplemental Retirement Plans
ü	Annual Risk Assessment — LB&Co. conducts an annual comprehensive risk analysis of our executive compensation program to ensure that our program does not encourage inappropriate risk-taking.	û	No Plan Design Features that Encourage Excessive or Imprudent Risk Taking

Program Attribute		Risk-Mitigating Effect
ü	The compensation mix between fixed and variable components and levels, and the balance between short-term and long-term variable compensation are reasonable and appropriate	⇾	Competitive levels of fixed compensation eliminate any day-to-day personal concerns, while variable compensation ensures our executives are appropriately motivated and rewarded both in the short and long-term
ü	The quality and reasonableness of incentive plan performance goals and payout formulas	⇾	Threshold, target and maximum performance and payout levels, funding formulas are not extreme, and goals are set within reach, thereby mitigating the likelihood of excessive risk taking in order to achieve a compensation result
ü	The nature and breadth of the performance metrics that govern incentive compensation throughout the Company	⇾	Encourages executives to avoid sacrificing short-term performance for long-term performance and vice versa
ü	The existence of clawback policies	⇾	Subjects executives to a requirement to surrender any undue incentive compensation that was paid on the basis of financial results that were required to be restated (other than as a result of a change in the applicable accounting rules or interpretations)
ü	The existence of Anti-Pledging & Anti-Hedging Policies	⇾	Ensures the alignment of interests generated by our executives’ equity holdings is not undermined by hedging or similar transactions
ü	The existence of robust share ownership guidelines	⇾	Provides a clear link between the economic interests of executives and shareholders over the long-term
ü	Use of an independent compensation consultant that performs no other services for the Company (including management)	⇾	Helps ensure advice will not be influenced by conflicts of interest

(1)Mr. Ward was appointed as our Executive Vice President, Global Field Operations, effective January 17, 2024. (2)Mr. Mitra served as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer from January 3, 2023 until his departure from the Company on April 21, 2025. (3)Mr. Davison joined the Company in September 2022 and departed the Company effective February 6, 2024. (4)NEOs earned the equivalent of 26.2 pay periods for 2024 instead of 26, reflecting the impact of the bi-weekly payroll structure implemented in January 2024. Additional amounts were ratified by the Committee. (5)Amounts reflect values calculated in accordance with SEC rules. The NEOs may not realize any value from their equity awards and, to the extent that they do, the amounts realized may have no correlation to the amounts reported above. For the 2024 fiscal year, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, the grant date fair value of RSU awards and the portion of PSU awards subject to metrics defined solely by reference to our own operations was determined based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. The portion of PSU awards subject to the market performance of our shares was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of PSUs with a performance condition based on the market performance of our shares (“market condition”) incorporates the likelihood of achieving the market condition. However, there is not market data to determine whether PSUs with a performance condition defined solely by reference to our own operations (“performance condition”) will be achieved. For PSUs with a performance condition, we have assessed the likelihood that these PSUs will payout based upon target achievement. The table below shows the hypothetical grant date fair value of 2024 awards assuming the highest level of performance (maximum) is achieved.
