Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain exceptional talent and reward performance by establishing measurable objectives to drive future performance, aligning executive officers' interests with those of shareholders. The program focuses on rewarding the achievement of specific annual, long-term, and strategic goals that contribute to increased long-term shareholder value, with a significant percentage of total compensation allocated to 'at-risk' performance-based incentives.
