    | ∎ | Joe Bob Perkins |

  5. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    Mses. Bowman and Cooksen and Mr. Perkins are currently serving as directors of the Company. Their biographical information is contained in the “Directors and Executive Officers” section below. The Board currently consists of twelve directors. As part of our ongoing Board succession planning, Director Ershel C. Redd Jr. will not stand for reelection and announced his retirement from the Board effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Mr. Redd’s decision not to stand for reelection was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any of its affiliates on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Our bylaws provide that the number of directors will be determined by the Board of Directors, and the number of directors is currently set at twelve. We will reduce the number of directors to eleven following the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of its nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. If a nominee becomes unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, either the number of the Company’s directors will be reduced or the persons acting via proxy will vote for the election of a substitute nominee that the Board of Directors recommends. Our bylaws provide that in an uncontested election, each director will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote with respect to that director’s election (meaning that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election). Pursuant to our bylaws, each incumbent director nominated for election must submit an irrevocable resignation, contingent on (i) not receiving a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, and (ii) acceptance of that proffered resignation by the Board of Directors in accordance with the following policies and procedures. In the event an incumbent director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, the Nominating and Governance Committee, or such other committee designated by the Board, will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the proffered resignation, taking into account such committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose its decision regarding the resignation and, if such resignation is rejected, the rationale behind the decision within ninety days following certification of the election results. Such committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors, in making its decision, each may consider any factors and other information that they consider appropriate and relevant. The director whose resignation is being considered will not participate in the deliberations of such committee or the Board of Directors with respect to whether to accept such director’s resignation. If the director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director will continue to serve until his or her successor is duly elected, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

  20. Board of Directors

    Board of Directors Our Board of Directors currently consists of twelve members. The Board of Directors reviewed the independence of our directors using the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and various other factors discussed under “Director Independence” and, based on this review, determined that Mses. Bowman, Cooksen, Fulton and Lawhorn and Messrs. Chung, Crisp, Davis, Evans, Joyce, Perkins, Redd and Teague are independent within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards currently in effect. On February 26, 2024, Mr. Evans resigned from the Board. Mr. Redd will not be standing for reelection and is retiring from the Board, effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. The Board held eight meetings during 2023. In addition, the independent members of the Board of Directors meet in executive session without the presence of the CEO or other members of management at least once annually. During 2023, each of the directors that served on the Board of Directors during the year attended 100% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings of all committees of the Board on which that director served. Our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2026, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The Class I directors are Messrs. Chung, Crisp and Teague and Ms. Fulton, the Class II directors are Messrs. Redd (who is retiring from the Board and will not be standing for reelection) and Perkins and Mses. Bowman and Cooksen and the Class III directors are Messrs. Davis, Joyce and Meloy and Ms. Lawhorn. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our Board of Directors could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.

  24. The Role of the Independent Consultant

    The Role of the Independent Consultant The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage and retain an independent compensation consultant to provide independent counsel and advice. At least annually, the Compensation Committee formally conducts an evaluation as to the effectiveness of the independent compensation consultant and periodically requests proposals from other potential consulting firms to ensure the independent compensation consultant is meeting the Compensation Committee’s needs. During 2023, the Compensation Committee retained the services of Meridian Compensation Partners (Meridian) as its independent compensation consultant for matters related to executive and non-management director compensation. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Meridian as required under NYSE listing rules. The Compensation Committee has also considered and assessed all relevant factors, including but not limited to those set forth in Rule 10C-1(b)(4)(i) through (vi) under the Exchange Act, that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest with respect to Meridian. Based on this review, we are not aware of any conflicts of interest raised by the work performed by Meridian that would prevent the consultant from serving as an independent advisor to the Compensation Committee.

  25. The Role of Market References in Setting Compensation

    The Role of Market References in Setting Compensation For purposes of setting compensation levels for 2023, the Compensation Committee worked with its independent compensation consultant to review market data from our peers and from broader market survey sources to provide a reference and framework for decisions about the base salary and target annual and long-term incentives for each NEO. The Compensation Committee considers this information carefully and generally desires to be competitive approximately at the market median for total compensation opportunities, although we do not formally benchmark any item of compensation to a specific level compared to our peers. Consequently, in setting pay levels of our NEOs, the Committee considers a variety of additional factors, including individual performance, competencies, skills, potential, prior experience, scope of responsibility and accountability within the organization.

  26. Compensation Peer Group

    Compensation Peer Group For purposes of setting compensation levels for 2023, the Compensation Committee worked closely with Meridian and senior management to develop a representative peer group. The 2023 compensation peer group, which was the same as our 2022 compensation peer group, consisted of a mix of 18 midstream and exploration and production companies of similar financial size that we believe are a reasonable reflection of the market in which we compete for executive talent.

    The Compensation Committee reviews the composition of our peer group every year with its independent consultant in order to ensure that the companies in the group continue to reflect an appropriate reference point for NEO compensation at Targa.

  34. Annual Incentives

    Annual Incentives For 2023, our NEOs were eligible to receive annual incentive awards under the 2023 Annual Incentive Compensation Program which consists of cash awards under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Bonus Plan”), which was approved by the Compensation Committee in March 2023. Target Bonus Amounts. Target bonus opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary and were established based on the NEO’s level of responsibility and ability to impact overall results. The Compensation Committee also considers market data in setting target bonus amounts. The 2023 target bonus opportunities were as follows:

  37. Annual Incentives

    2023 Bonus Plan Funding Levels. Annual bonus awards are based upon a rigorous evaluation of results across a variety of financial, operational and strategic categories. Performance is measured against a combination of:

  38. Annual Incentives

    | ∎ | Pre-established financial and operational goals; and |

  39. Annual Incentives

    | ∎ | Key strategic business priorities. |

  40. Annual Incentives

    Plan funding incorporates formulaic quantitative evaluation and qualitative evaluation based on a holistic evaluation by the Compensation Committee. We believe this balance of formulaic and qualitative evaluation is critical, reflecting the complexity of our business and our desire to ensure that decision-making over the short-term remains focused on producing sustainable growth over the long term. Evaluation of 2023 Performance. Our evaluation of performance in the annual incentive program includes consideration of performance on multiple factors within three general categories and with a safety category overlay:

  41. Annual Incentives

    | Category | What did it include? | Why is it important? | | Financial Performance | ∎ Adjusted EBITDA ∎ Distributable cash flow per share ∎ % of G&P volumes with fees or fee-based floors | Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow per share, and the percent of G&P volumes with fees or fee-based floors together emphasize the importance of profitable growth supported by cash flow stability and less volatility to downside movements in commodity prices. | | Operational and Commercial Performance | ∎ Cost discipline ∎ Project and commercial execution | Emphasizes the importance of continuing to grow profitably and prudently by executing our major growth capital projects underway and focusing on commercial opportunities supporting our wellhead to water strategy, while continuing to be disciplined in our cost management. | | Sustainability | ∎ Environmental, social and governance (ESG) | We strive to conduct our business sustainably, safely and with integrity, creating lasting benefits for our stakeholders, including investors, lenders, customers, employees, business partners, regulators and the communities in which we live and work. Incorporating the interests of all of our key stakeholders in the execution of our business strategy to help ensure that annual performance leads to sustainable long-term growth. | | Safety | ∎ A holistic scorecard including quantitative and qualitative evaluation of incident rates, severity, process improvement, and other safety-related items ∎ Operates outside plan as a modifier that can reduce plan payout if performance is below expectations, but will not be used to increase plan payouts | We prioritize safety everywhere in our organization and believe that “Zero is Achievable” – to operate and deliver our products without any injuries. Our philosophy stresses critical nature of safe operations and reinforces that strong safety performance is an expectation and not a justification for increased incentive compensation |

  43. Annual Incentives

    The table below provides the more specific items within the first three general categories that our Compensation Committee used when determining the 2023 bonuses. Adjusted EBITDA and DCF per share goals were set at more challenging levels relative to 2022 goals and actual performance. Cost discipline goals were set at a higher level than 2022 reflecting expectations for growth and inflationary pressure. Continuing to restructure or add contracts that increased the percentage of G&P volumes with fees or fee-based floors was an important strategic goal for 2023 to increase cash flow stability and reduce volatility to downside commodity prices. Financial performance metrics have a maximum payout factor of 2.5 and operational performance metrics and sustainability metrics have a maximum payout factor of 2.0. The total plan is capped at a factor of 2.0 regardless of scoring for the individual components.

  44. Annual Incentives

    | Category | Priorities | Achievements | Score | | Financial Performance (60%) | Adjusted EBITDA* | Threshold: $3,138 – Target $3,487 – Max: $4,010 Actual performance: $3,530 million Adjusted EBITDA in 2023 was a record for Targa and 22% higher than 2022, driven by record Permian G&P, NGL transportation, fractionation and export volumes. Commodity prices were significantly lower than forecasted plan, but downside volatility was mitigated by fees and fee floors in G&P contracts. G&A and operating expenses were higher largely driven by higher labor, maintenance and rental costs from increased activity and system expansions, acquisitions and inflation. | 1.12 | | | Distributable cash flow per share | Threshold: $10.56 – Target: $11.73 – Max: $13.49 Actual performance: $11.76 Record adjusted EBITDA and a successful common share repurchase program that reduced common shares outstanding drove record DCF per share in 2023, although it was lower than initial expectations driven largely by higher than forecasted cash interest expense and maintenance capital expenditures. Cash interest expense was higher from floating interest rates on borrowings on our revolving credit facility, commercial paper program, accounts receivable securitization facility and term loan being higher than forecasted. Maintenance capital expenditures were higher from our growing infrastructure footprint and inflationary pressures. | 1.02 | | | % of G&P volumes with fees or fee-based floors | Threshold: 70% – Target 75% – Max: 85% Actual performance: 81% for FY 2023, and contract restructurings completed prior to year-end resulted in ~90% as of YE 2023 Our commercial teams focused on identifying opportunities to add fees and fee floors to both new G&P contracts and restructure existing contracts to increase cash flow stability and minimize downside commodity price exposure. For 2023, aggressive goals were set organizationally to make significant progress in restructuring certain key existing contracts. Across 2023, we successfully added new contracts and restructured existing contracts, and in December 2023, we successfully restructured key existing contracts to finish year-end with ~90% of our G&P volumes under fee based or fee floor contracts. | 2.00 |

Inflationary pressures also resulted in higher than forecasted labor, maintenance and rental costs. | 0.82 | | | Project & commercial execution | Threshold set at achievement of quarterly in-service dates and planned budgets for major projects. May exceed target with successful commercial efforts to identify new opportunities for growth that support Targa’s wellhead to water strategy. Actual performance: We were very successful in bringing major growth capital projects online on-time and on-budget in 2023 and continued to progress projects expected in service in 2024 and beyond. Additionally, we entered into new commercial arrangements and restructured existing contracts expected to provide continued volume and margin growth in 2024 and beyond. Key accomplishments included: ∎ Four Permian plants and the Galena Park export expansion were successfully completed on-time, on-budget and were highly utilized at start-up; ∎ Exited 2023 with approximately 90% of our G&P volumes supported by fees or fee floors; ∎ Completed the integration of two acquisitions made in 2022 in 2023; ∎ Negotiated and executed on the attractive acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in Grand Prix NGL Pipeline; ∎ Progress continued on other key major capital projects including additional Permian plants, fractionation trains and the Daytona NGL Pipeline; and ∎ Successfully negotiated additional contracts supporting Targa’s wellhead to water strategy. | 2.00 |

Actual performance: Our employees are the foundation to fostering safe operation of our assets and delivery of services to our customers. We exited 2023 employing a record approximately 3,182 people. Despite a competitive hiring landscape, we exceeded our expectations in our ability to identify quality talent to join Targa as we focused on staffing major growth capital projects coming into service early to ensure adequate training for our new employees. We are committed to employee growth and development. We closely monitor our employee retention, and successfully maintained our voluntary turnover rate at a low rate in 2023. | 1.00 | | | ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) | Threshold set at continuing to advance disclosures, investor and other stakeholder dialogue, progress toward methane intensity goals, and reduction in flaring from unplanned events. Actual performance: We are proud of the work that we continue to do to safely deliver energy, including to energy-poor areas of the world, in an environmentally and socially responsible way, caring for and being stewards of the environment, and operating our organization with sound governance. We continued to make significant progress as an organization in 2023. Some of our accomplishments include: ∎ Enhanced our sustainability-related reporting with the publication of our TCFD index; ∎ Expanded our methane management plan disclosures and midstream flaring information; ∎ Increased aerial surveys/compressor station and gas plant methane monitoring; ∎ Continued our focus on flaring reduction; ∎ Continued our efforts with ONE Future and API on methane emissions; ∎ Worked closely with engine manufacturers on methane slip; ∎ Piloted new GTI Veritas draft QMRV protocols; ∎ Continued our dialogue with the investor community and other stakeholders; ∎ Adopted proxy access provisions in our Bylaws; and ∎ Established a formal overboarding policy. | 1.00 |

    2023 Bonus Plan Payouts. The Compensation Committee separately reviewed our safety performance for 2023, which included improvements in process and communication, a slight reduction in overall incident rate and a decrease in severity. The Compensation Committee did not apply any adjustment to the pool to reflect safety performance. Based on the Company’s strong financial and operational performance during 2023, the Committee approved the bonus pool for our NEOs at 1.35x target.

  52. Annual Incentives

    | Category | Payout Factor | Weight | Weighted Factor | | Financial | 1.38 | 60% | 0.83 | | Operational and Commercial | 1.41 | 30% | 0.42 | | Sustainability | 1.00 | 10% | 0.10 | | Total Calculated Payout | | | 1.35 | | Total Approved Payout | | | 1.35 |

    Individual Performance Multiplier. The Compensation Committee also evaluated the executive group and each officer’s individual performance for the year and determined that there were no special circumstances that would result in adjustment to any NEO’s performance factor for 2023. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined a performance multiplier of 1.0x should be applied to each named executive officer for 2023 based on the officer’s individual performance and performance as part of the executive team. Settlement of 2023 Bonus Awards. The following table reflects the actual awards received by our NEOs under the 2023 Bonus Plan:

  54. Annual Incentives

    | NEO | Target Bonus ($) | Individual Performance Factor | Company Performance Factor | Actual Bonus Paid (Cash) | | Meloy | 1,723,750 | 1.00 | 1.35 | 2,327,100 | | Kneale | 793,750 | 1.00 | 1.35 | 1,071,600 | | McDonie | 615,000 | 1.00 | 1.35 | 830,300 | | Pryor | 615,000 | 1.00 | 1.35 | 830,300 | | Muraro | 615,000 | 1.00 | 1.35 | 830,300 |

    2024 Annual Incentive Cash Compensation Program. For 2024, our NEOs are eligible to receive annual cash awards under the 2024 Annual Incentive Cash Compensation Program (the “2024 Bonus Plan”), which was approved by the Compensation Committee in March 2024. The payments under the 2024 Bonus Plan consist of cash awards that may be made under our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. Our evaluation of performance in the 2024 Bonus Plan will include consideration of performance on multiple factors within the following three categories: Financial Performance, Operational and Commercial Performance and Sustainability. The metrics evaluated within each category will be reflective of the year’s strategic priorities.

  57. Long-Term Equity Incentives

    Long-Term Equity Incentives Equity compensation directly aligns the interests of the NEOs with those of our stockholders. In 2023, the Company granted equity compensation under our Stock Incentive Plan as follows:

  58. Long-Term Equity Incentives

    | Type of Equity Award | Weight | Description | | Performance Share Units (PSUs) | 50% | Vest at the end of a three-year period contingent on the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the TSR of a specified comparator group of publicly-traded midstream companies (the “LTIP Peer Group”) measured over the three year period | | Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) | 50% | Vest in full at the end of a three-year period based solely on continued service; RSUs help to secure and retain executives and instill an ownership mentality |

  59. Long-Term Equity Incentives

    Long-term equity incentive awards are expressed as a total dollar value based on a percentage of the NEO’s base salary and were established based on the NEO’s level of responsibility and ability to impact overall results. The Compensation Committee also considers market data in setting target long-term equity incentive awards. For awards granted in 2023, the specified percentage of each NEO’s base salary used for purposes of determining the amount of long-term equity incentive awards granted and the corresponding dollar values are set forth in the following table:

  60. Long-Term Equity Incentives

    | NEO | Target Award (% of Salary) | Target Award ($ Value) | Number of RSUs Granted (#) | Number of PSUs Granted (#) | | Meloy | 800% | 7,880,000 | 53,562 | 53,562 | | Kneale | 450% | 2,857,500 | 19,423 | 19,423 | | McDonie | 325% | 1,998,750 | 13,586 | 13,586 | | Pryor | 325% | 1,998,750 | 13,586 | 13,586 | | Muraro | 325% | 1,998,750 | 13,586 | 13,586 |

  62. 2023 PSU Plan Design

    2023 PSU Plan Design PSUs vest depending on the satisfaction of certain service-related conditions and the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the members of the LTIP Peer Group measured over a single three-year performance period. For the 2023 PSUs, the LTIP Peer Group was composed of the companies that make up the Alerian US Midstream Index (AMUS), using the following payout schedule:

  63. 2023 PSU Plan Design

    | Relative TSR Attainment vs. Companies in the Alerian US Midstream Index | Guideline Performance Percentage (% of target) | | Below 25th percentile | 0% | | 25th percentile | 50% | | 55th percentile | 100% | | 75th percentile or higher | 250% |

  64. 2023 PSU Plan Design

    Target payout is set at the 55th percentile to ensure that a target payout requires performance above the median of our performance peers. Payout for performance between threshold and target or between target and maximum are calculated using straight-line interpolation. The performance period for the 2023 PSUs began on January 1, 2023 and ends on December 31, 2025 and TSR for the period is measured using the following formula:

  65. 2023 PSU Plan Design

    | TSR = | Average closing price at end of period + dividends paid over period | | | Average closing price at beginning of period |

  66. 2021 – 2023 PSU Plan Payout

    2021 – 2023 PSU Plan Payout The PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2021 used a similar structure as the 2023 PSUs for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023. The LTIP Peer Group for the 2021 PSUs was the companies in the AMUS index as of the beginning of the performance period. On January 18, 2024, our Compensation Committee determined that the overall vesting percentage that was earned for the 2021 PSUs was 250% of target based upon performance in the top decile of the AMUS index companies:

  67. 2021 – 2023 PSU Plan Payout

    | Targa 3-year TSR Performance | Targa Percentile Rank in AMUS | Percent of Target Earned | | 248% | 97th percentile (2nd out of 36 companies) | 250% |

  68. 2021 – 2023 PSU Plan Payout

    Because vesting did not occur until our Compensation Committee determined the achievement of applicable performance goals at the beginning of 2024, these awards were still considered “outstanding” as of December 31, 2023 for purposes of the compensation tables that follow this CD&A.

  70. Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy

    Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy In September 2023, our Board adopted an executive incentive compensation recovery policy effective as of October 2023, to comply with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 following implementation of final rules by the NYSE. Our policy provides that incentive-based compensation (cash or equity) paid to our current or former Section 16 officers must be recovered (unless impracticable) in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results that would result in such officers receiving erroneously awarded compensation. In connection with such event, the Compensation Committee will have the right to require the reimbursement or forfeiture of any incentive-based compensation, including payments under the annual incentive plan and performance-based PSUs, paid to the officer to the extent permitted by applicable law. The clawback policy applies to all incentive-based compensation deemed “received” under the clawback rules on or after October 2, 2023. Furthermore, restricted stock, restricted stock unit and performance share unit agreements covering awards made to our named executive officers and other applicable employees include language providing that any compensation, payments or benefits provided under such an award (including profits realized from the sale of earned shares) are subject to clawback to the extent required by applicable law.

  71. Compensation Risk Assessment

    Compensation Risk Assessment The Compensation Committee reviews the relationship between our risk management policies and compensation policies and practices each year and, for 2023, has concluded that we do not have any compensation policies or practices that expose us to excessive or unnecessary risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Because our Compensation Committee retains the sole discretion for determining the actual amount paid to executives pursuant to our annual incentive bonus program, our Compensation Committee is able to assess the actual behavior of our executives as it relates to risk-taking in awarding bonus amounts. In addition, the performance objectives applicable to our annual bonus program consist of diverse company-wide and business

  72. Change in Control and Severance Benefits

    Change in Control and Severance Benefits Our ability to build the exceptional leadership team we have today was due in large part to our having the full complement of compensation tools available to us and the flexibility to use them. This includes the ability to leverage change in control and severance benefits. The Compensation Committee believes that together, our change in control and severance benefits, which are guided by our governance practices and policies, are well-aligned with those of our peers. More importantly, they foster stability and focus within the senior leadership team by helping to ensure that personal concerns regarding job security do not hinder mergers, reorganizations or other transactions that may be in the best interest of shareholders. Please see “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below for further information.

Detailed information about the value attributable to specific awards is reported in the table under “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards for 2023” below. The grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit subject to the restricted stock unit awards granted on January 19, 2023, assuming vesting will occur, is $74.13. The grant date fair value of each performance share unit subject to the performance share unit awards granted on January 19, 2023, assuming vesting will occur, is $128.71 which is the per unit fair value determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation methodology in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Assuming, instead, a payout percentage for these performance unit awards of 250%, which is the maximum payout percentage under the awards, the aggregate grant date fair value of the equity-settled performance unit awards granted on January 19, 2023 for each named executive officer is as follows: Mr. Meloy – $9,926,378; Ms. Kneale – $3,599,567; Mr. McDonie – $2,517,825; Mr. Pryor – $2,517,825; and Mr. Muraro – $2,517,825. |

  90. Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year-End

    | (a) The restricted stock units awarded January 19, 2021 are subject to the following vesting schedule: 100% of the restricted stock units vest on January 19, 2024, contingent upon continuous employment or the satisfaction of certain other service-related conditions upon the executive’s retirement, in either case, through the end of the vesting period. The underlying shares of stock are not issued until vesting at the end of the vesting period. |

    | (b) The awards in this row originally related to performance share units granted in 2021, but for which the performance period ended on December 31, 2023. Because the awards were no longer subject to performance conditions, but would not be deemed “vested” until the Compensation Committee certified performance levels in early 2024, they are still deemed to be outstanding for purposes of this table, subject only to time-based vesting requirements. The target awards were multiplied by 250%, the actual adjustment factor applied to the awards upon determination of performance levels in 2024. |

  112. Director Compensation

    | (1) Amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted shares of our common stock with a one-year vesting period awarded to the non-employee directors under our Stock Incentive Plan, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, disregarding the estimate of forfeitures. For a discussion of the assumptions and methodologies used to value the awards reported in this column, see the discussion contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 22 – Compensation Plans included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. On January 19, 2023, each director serving at that time received 2,243 restricted shares of our common stock, except for our Chairman of the Board who received 3,331 restricted shares of our common stock, in connection with their 2023 service on our Board of Directors, and the grant date fair value of each share of common stock computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 was $74.13. As of December 31, 2023, each of the directors still held the outstanding restricted shares granted to them in 2023 (which was equal to 2,243 shares for everyone other than Mr. Chung, who held 3,331 shares), and our non-employee directors did not hold any outstanding stock options. |

  113. Narrative to Director Compensation Table

    Narrative to Director Compensation Table For 2023, the annual cash retainer for all non-employee directors was $115,000. The additional annual retainers for (i) the Chairman of the Board was $80,000, (ii) the Chairman of the Audit Committee was $25,000, (ii) the Chairman of the Compensation Committee was $20,000 and (iii) each of the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Chairman of the Risk Management Committee and the Chairman of the Sustainability Committee was $15,000. Payments of non-employee director retainers are made quarterly. All non-employee directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board of Director and committee meetings. A director who is also an employee receives no additional compensation for services as a director. Accordingly, Mr. Meloy has been omitted from the table. Because Mr. Meloy is a named executive officer for 2023, the Summary Compensation Table reflects the total compensation he received for services performed for us and our affiliates. Director Long-term Equity Incentives. We granted equity awards in January 2023 to our non-employee directors serving at that time under the Stock Incentive Plan. Each of these directors received an award of 2,243 restricted shares of our common stock, except for our Chairman of the Board who received 3,331 restricted shares of our common stock, with a one-year vesting period. These grants reflect our intent to provide our directors with a target value of approximately $165,000 in annual long-term incentive awards, except for the grant to our Chairman of the Board which included an additional award with a target value of approximately $80,000. The awards are intended to align the long-term interests of our directors with those of our shareholders.

  114. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    Pay Ratio Disclosures As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Meloy, our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”). For 2023, our last completed fiscal year:

  115. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    | ∎ | The median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than the CEO) was $133,130. |

  116. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    | ∎ | The annual total compensation of Mr. Meloy was $14,191,630. |

  117. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    | ∎ | Based on this information, for 2023 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees (“CEO Pay Ratio”) was reasonably estimated to be 107 to 1. |

  118. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    To calculate the CEO Pay Ratio we must identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and our CEO. To these ends, we took the following steps:

  119. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    | ∎ | We determined that, as of December 31, 2023, our employee population consisted of approximately 3,182 individuals. This population consisted of our full-time and part-time employees, as we do not have temporary or seasonal workers. |

  120. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    | ∎ | We used a consistently applied compensation measure to identify our median employee of comparing the amount of salary or wages, bonuses, company contributions under our 401(k) plan, and the grant date fair value of equity awards determined under FASB ASC Topic 718. We identified our median employee by consistently applying this compensation measure to all of our employees included in our analysis. For individuals hired after January 1, 2023 that were included in the employee population, we calculated these compensation elements on an annualized basis. We did not make any cost of living adjustments in identifying the median employee. |

  121. Pay Ratio Disclosures

    | ∎ | We combined all of the elements of the median employee’s compensation for the 2023 year in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $133,130. |

  123. Pay Versus Performance

    Pay Versus Performance As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and the Company’s financial performance for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2023. In accordance with the applicable SEC rules, the adjustments described and quantified below were made to the values reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable year to determine the “actual” compensation paid to our Principal Executive Officers (“PEOs”) and the average “actual” compensation paid to our other Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). The following table summarizes compensation values reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our PEO and the average for our other NEOs, as compared to “compensation actually paid” or “CAP” and the Company’s financial performance for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

    The charts on the following pages reflect that the PEOs’ and other NEOs’ CAP align with the Company’s TSR and Peer Group TSR, Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA over the four-year period presented in the tables. This is primarily because of the Company’s use of equity-based awards, which are tied directly to changes in the Company’s stock price. For fiscal year 2023, the Company targeted approximately 74% for the PEO and 63% for the other NEOs of the value of total compensation to be comprised of equity-based awards, divided 50% each between RSUs and PSUs. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2023 Executive Compensation Program Snapshot—Pay Mix” for further detail regarding the total direct compensation.

  133. Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Officers

    Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Officers We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. Each indemnification agreement provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee for Expenses (as defined in the indemnification agreement) to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by law, including the Delaware General Corporation Law, in effect on the date of the agreement or as it may be amended to provide more advantageous rights to the indemnitee. If such indemnification is unavailable as a result of a court decision and if we and the indemnitee are jointly liable in the proceeding, we will contribute funds to the indemnitee for his or her Expenses in proportion to relative benefit and fault of us and indemnitee in the transaction giving rise to the proceeding. Each indemnification agreement also provides that we will indemnify the indemnitee for monetary damages for actions taken as our director or officer or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be but only if (i) the indemnitee acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in our best interests and, in all other cases, not opposed to our best interests and (ii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the indemnitee must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreement also provides that we must advance payment of certain Expenses to the indemnitee, including fees of counsel, subject to receipt of an undertaking from the indemnitee to return such advance if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
