Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified leaders who can execute strategy and deliver long-term value for shareholders while supporting safe and sound operations. The program emphasizes pay practices that reinforce prudent risk management, strong controls, and sustained performance over time, with a meaningful portion of total compensation tied to variable and/or equity-based incentives.

The policy allows for the recovery of excess incentive-based compensation earned by a current or former executive officer during the three fiscal years preceding the date the listed company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.
