  42. Board of Directors

    Board of Directors •Board and Committee Independence and Independent Board Chair. All of our directors are independent, except our CEO, and the Chair of the Board is independent. The members of each of the Board’s committees are also independent. •Annual Election of Directors and Majority Voting in Director Elections. Directors are elected annually. In uncontested elections, directors must be elected by a majority of votes cast. A director is required to tender his or her resignation if he or she fails to receive the required number of votes for election and the Board will then determine whether to accept or reject the resignation. •Annual Board and Committee Self-Evaluations. The Board, in coordination with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, conducts a self-evaluation of the Board and its committees at least annually. Each committee also conducts a self-evaluation. This process helps inform the annual director nomination process and Board refreshment. •Annual Board Evaluation of the CEO. The Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Compensation and Talent Committee lead the evaluation process of the CEO’s performance with the Compensation and Talent Committee. •Limits on Public Company Board and Audit Committee Service. No independent director may serve on more than four public company boards (including the Company’s Board) and directors who are also serving as a CEO, including the Company’s CEO, may not serve on more than two public company boards (including the Company’s Board). No member of the Audit Committee may simultaneously serve on the audit committee of more than three public companies (including the Company’s Audit Committee), unless the Board determines that such service would not impair the effectiveness of their service on the Company’s Audit Committee. A director must seek approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in advance of serving on the board of another entity. •Regular Executive Sessions of Independent Directors. The independent directors hold regular executive sessions, generally at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and each committee, at which management, including the CEO, is not present.

  43. 2025 Strategic Leadership Appointments

    2025 Strategic Leadership Appointments In 2025, Assurant made a series of strategic leadership appointments that leverage the strength of its executive bench and position the company for continued long-term success. Effective September 15, 2025, Assurant’s Board appointed Mike Campbell as Chief Operating Officer (COO). In this role, Mr. Campbell assumed responsibility for Global Operations and Information Technology across the enterprise and is leading efforts to enhance operational efficiency, accelerate our technology roadmap, and fully leverage Assurant’s global scale and capabilities across all product lines.

In connection with his promotion and expanded role, he received a one-time equity award on October 1, 2025 with a grant date value of approximately $750,000, consisting of 75% PSUs and 25% RSUs.

In addition, Mr. Lonergan was promoted to Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer on September 15, 2025.

  44. Strong Executive Compensation Governance Practices and Policies

    | What We Do | What We Don’t Do | | ☑ Heavy emphasis on variable compensation | ☒ No “single trigger” change in control agreements | | ☑ Significant portion of annual and long-term incentives are performance based “at risk” | ☒ No tax gross ups upon change in control | | ☑ Robust stock ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers | ☒ No hedging, pledging or speculative transactions in company stock | | ☑ Incentive recoupment (clawback) policy and provisions | ☒ No significant perquisites | | ☑ Proactive stockholder engagement | ☒ No dividends paid on unvested PSUs | | ☑ Annual risk assessments | ☒ No employment agreements with executive team |

  45. Our Executive Compensation Principles

    •75% of the annual long-term equity incentive award granted to our NEOs in 2025 was delivered in the form of PSUs, with a three-year cumulative performance period, and 25% was delivered in the form of RSUs, with a three-year annual vesting schedule.

  46. The Compensation and Talent Committee’s Decision-Making Process

    For 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee evaluated the recommendations of our CEO for the compensation of our other NEOs, together with information and analysis provided by its independent compensation consultant including peer group proxy data and, where appropriate, matches based on job and rank from published survey data, as described in “Compensation Peer Group” on page 61. The Compensation and Talent Committee exercises its informed judgment in evaluating, modifying, approving or rejecting the CEO’s recommendations and makes all final decisions with regard to base salary, short-

  47. Input from Management

    Input from Management . Our CEO is not involved in the Compensation and Talent Committee’s determination of his compensation. The CEO completes a self-assessment of his own performance against prescribed criteria and each independent director separately assesses the CEO’s performance using the same criteria. Our CEO annually reviews the performance and compensation of each of our executive officers relative to market pay levels using compensation peer group benchmarking data and, where appropriate, matches based on job and rank from published survey data, while considering each NEO’s scope of role, individual performance, contributions and experience, as described in “Compensation Peer Group” on page 61, and makes recommendations regarding their target total direct compensation to the Compensation and Talent Committee. The CEO also provides input to the Compensation and Talent Committee on the ESTIP and ALTEIP performance goals for the Company’s executive officers.

  48. Input from Independent Compensation Consultant

    Input from Independent Compensation Consultant . Our Compensation and Talent Committee engaged Pearl Meyer as its independent compensation consultant throughout 2025. The nature and scope of the services provided by Pearl Meyer included participating in Compensation and Talent Committee meetings, benchmarking compensation for the executive officers, providing advice and recommendations related to the compensation of executive officers, composition of compensation peer group, plan design and director compensation, and providing updates on trends and developments in executive compensation. Decisions made by the Compensation and Talent Committee are its responsibility and may reflect factors other than the recommendations and information provided by its independent compensation consultant. The Compensation and Talent Committee assessed the independence of Pearl Meyer in 2025, as required under NYSE listing rules, and assessed all relevant factors, including those set forth under the Exchange Act, that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest. Based on this review, the Company is not aware of any conflict of interest arising from the work performed by Pearl Meyer that would prevent it from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation and Talent Committee.

  49. Compensation Peer Group

    Compensation Peer Group For the purpose of setting compensation levels for 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee incorporated benchmarking data from a formal compensation peer group into its executive compensation decision-making process. This peer group reflects companies of similar size, complexity, business focus and executive talent market, and supports informed pay decisions aligned with the Company’s strategic objectives. In selecting peer companies, the Compensation and Talent Committee evaluated the following financial and operational criteria: •Revenue: Between $3 billion and $30 billion, approximately one-third to three times Assurant’s revenue •Total Assets: Between $10 billion to $100 billion •Market Capitalization: From approximately $2 billion to $20 billion •Headcount: Approximately 4,000 to 42,000

    The Compensation and Talent Committee considered proxy data from the compensation peer group as a market reference when evaluating pay positioning for purposes of establishing 2025 pay levels. Where appropriate, the Compensation and Talent Committee blended the peer group proxy data with job and rank matched data from published compensation surveys to inform its decisions. In its deliberations, the Compensation and Talent Committee evaluated target total direct compensation for each NEO by benchmarking against data provided for executives with comparable responsibilities at peer group companies, as well as relevant survey data. While the Compensation and Talent Committee strives to position compensation near the median of the competitive market, adjustments are made to reflect differences in the role scope, individual performance, experience and contributions. An independent assessment conducted by Pearl Meyer validated that each NEO’s target total direct compensation was appropriately positioned relative to similarly situated executives.

  57. Elements of Compensation

    | Compensation Element | Objective/Purpose | | Annual base salary | Competitive base salaries support our ability to attract and retain executive talent. | | Annual incentive program: Assurant’s Executive Short Term Incentive Plan (ESTIP) | Motivates executives to achieve specific near-term enterprise goals designed to support the Company’s strategic and financial objectives. | | Long-term equity incentive program: Assurant’s Long Term Incentive Plan (ALTEIP) | Aligns management’s interests with stockholders’ interests. Reinforces a culture of accountability focused on long-term value creation and is a key element of retaining executive talent. |

  58. Annual Incentive Compensation

    Annual Incentive Compensation The ESTIP provides our NEOs the opportunity to earn a performance-based annual cash incentive award. Actual incentive payouts can range from 0% to 200% of target award amounts depending on performance achievements. Target annual incentive opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary. The Compensation and Talent Committee determined, based on its assessment of relevant peer company and market data, as well as the strong individual performance of the executives in their roles, that Mr. Meier’s target annual incentive should increase from 120% to 140% and Ms. Luthi’s target annual incentive should increase from 100% to 115% for 2025. The Compensation and Talent committee maintained the target annual incentives for the remaining NEOs for 2025. Target award opportunities for 2025 were as follows:

  59. Annual Incentive Compensation

    | Name | 2025 Base Salary ($) | Target Annual Incentive (as a % of Salary) | Target Annual Incentive ($) | | Keith W. Demmings | 1,200,000 | 200% | 2,400,000 | | Keith R. Meier | 750,000 | 140% | 1,050,000 | | Michael P. Campbell1 | 598,877 | 100% | 598,877 | | Biju Nair | 600,000 | 100% | 600,000 | | Robert A. Lonergan2 | 567,397 | 100% | 567,397 | | Francesca L. Luthi | 650,000 | 115% | 747,500 |

  60. Annual Incentive Compensation

    1 Mr. Campbell's target annual incentive was calculated using a time weighted average of his base salary rates in 2025 before and after his promotion effective September 15, 2025, multiplied by his target annual ESTIP opportunity of 100%. 2 Mr. Lonergan's target annual incentive was calculated using a time weighted average of his base salary rates in 2025 before and after his promotion effective September 15, 2025, multiplied by his target annual ESTIP opportunity of 100%. Each year, the Compensation and Talent Committee reviews the selection and weight of metrics to ensure alignment with the Company’s strategic and financial objectives. For 2025, the Compensation and Talent Committee determined to continue to prioritize financial performance metrics focused on profitability (Adjusted EBITDA) and revenue growth (net earned premiums, fees and other income), set at the enterprise level, paired with an individual performance component permitting differentiation of award payouts and recognition of contributions to strategic, financial and leadership goals. The mix of metrics and weighting for 2025, consistent with 2024, was as follows:

  61. Annual Incentive Compensation

    | ESTIP Metrics | Weight | | Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes | 50% | | Net earned premiums, fees and other income | 30% | | Individual performance component | 20% |

  62. Annual Incentive Compensation

    The Adjusted EBITDA metric excludes reportable catastrophes because they create volatility that is beyond management’s control and the Compensation and Talent Committee believes management should be focused on the underlying performance of the business, which is consistent with how the Company reports its results.

  67. Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

    Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation The 2025 ALTEIP grants awarded to the NEOs are comprised of a mix of 75% PSUs and 25% RSUs. No stock options or stock appreciation rights are awarded to the Company’s NEOs. Increases to our NEOs’ long-term incentive opportunities in 2025 were made by the Compensation and Talent Committee to recognize strong performance in role, motivate and sustain momentum, and align with market. The target PSUs and RSUs awarded for fiscal 2025 for each of the NEOs were as follows:

  68. Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

  69. Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

    1 The actual number of PSUs and RSUs granted was calculated by dividing the dollar value of the award by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the equity award grant date. The closing price for the March 16, 2025 grant date was $211.20. 2 The amounts for Mr. Campbell do not include the one-time equity award granted on October 1, 2025 in connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer.

  72. Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

    3 Ms. Luthi forfeited the 7,502 PSUs and 2,501 RSUs granted in 2025 upon her departure from the Company on January 5, 2026. In connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Campbell received a one-time equity award effective October 1, 2025 with a grant date value of approximately $750,000, consisting of 75% PSUs (with the same performance goals as the annual grants) and 25% RSUs. The award vests over a three-year period, consistent with the vesting schedule applicable to annual equity grants. The Compensation and Talent Committee, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, determined that this award was appropriate in light of Mr. Campbell’s expanded responsibilities as COO, the mid-year timing of his promotion, and the Company’s emphasis on performance-based, long-term equity compensation. This award was not intended to be representative of the Company’s ongoing compensation practices. On September 15, 2026, Ms. Luthi stepped down as COO for personal reasons. She agreed to provide transition support through January 4, 2026. In recognition of her contributions during the 2023-2025 performance period, including transition support, the Compensation and Talent Committee amended Ms. Luthi’s 2023 PSU award to require continued employment through December 31, 2025 rather than March 16, 2026. Vesting of the award remained subject to certification of the Company’s performance. Ms. Luthi forfeited the RSUs that would have vested on March 16, 2026, as well as all other unvested equity awards.

  73. PSUs

    PSUs PSUs support sustainable long-term stockholder return and closely align the interests of management and stockholders. The maximum payout opportunity for PSUs is capped at 200% of an NEO’s target opportunity. Generally, unless a PSU recipient is retirement eligible, the recipient must be continuously employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries through the performance determination date following the end of the applicable performance period to achieve payout. The Compensation and Talent Committee reviews the selection and weighting of ALTEIP performance metrics annually to ensure alignment with the Company’s strategic and financial objectives. For 2025, the Committee determined to continue using the same performance metrics and weightings applied in prior years, consisting of 50% Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share and 50% TSR relative to the S&P 500 Index. The Adjusted earnings metric excludes reportable catastrophes because catastrophes create volatility that is beyond management’s control and the Compensation and Talent Committee believes management should be focused on the underlying performance of the business, which is consistent with how the Company reports its results.

  81. 2023-2025 Performance Periods

    2023-2025 Performance Periods In March 2026, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved equity awards for PSUs granted in 2023 based on the financial metrics described on the previous page. The Company’s cumulative TSR percentile ranking relative to companies in the S&P 500 Index over the 2023-2025 performance period was in the 83rd percentile, which represents a payout at 178% of target. The Company achieved 2023-2025 cumulative Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share1 of $60.29, which represents a payout at 200% of target. As a result, each NEO received shares of common stock equal to 189% of their target number of PSUs granted in 2023, which represents the average payouts for TSR and Adjusted earnings per share. The performance levels for the 2023-2025 performance cycles are reflected in the charts below. 1 Represents a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure can be found in Appendix A hereto.

  90. RSUs

    RSUs RSUs vest in equal annual installments over a three-year vesting period and are granted in March of each year. For additional information on PSUs and RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2025, please see columns (h) and (j), respectively, of the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” on page 78.

  91. Executive Compensation Clawback Policy and Recoupment Provisions

    Executive Compensation Clawback Policy and Recoupment Provisions We adopted a compensation clawback policy effective October 2, 2023 in compliance with the requirements of the SEC’s final clawback rule. In the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, the policy subjects our current and former executive officers to the clawback of incentive compensation that would not have been granted, earned or vested under the restated financial statements. Our robust discretionary clawback and recoupment provisions, enforceable under the terms of the ALTEIP, go beyond currently applicable legal requirements and cover both time-based and performance-based equity awards to our NEOs. We may require repayment of gains realized under equity awards and cancel equity awards in specified instances of executive misconduct, including misconduct causing a financial statement restatement or a material violation of law that causes material financial harm to us. Equity awards may be forfeited or subject to repayment if an NEO breaches our Code of Ethics, discloses

  92. Timing of Equity Grants

    Timing of Equity Grants The Company does not coordinate the timing of equity awards with the release of material non-public information. Annual equity awards are granted on March 16 of each year.

  93. Change in Control

    Change in Control Assurant is party to a change in control agreement (a “CIC Agreement”) with each of its NEOs. The purpose of these CIC Agreements is to enable our executives to focus solely on maximizing stockholder value in the context of a change in control transaction without regard to personal concerns related to job security. The CIC Agreements with our NEOs contain a “double trigger” provision, meaning that benefits are generally payable only upon a termination of employment “without cause” by the Company or for “good reason” by the NEO within two years following a change in control. Executives who have CIC Agreements are subject to restrictive covenants protective of the Company’s proprietary interests including confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions. These agreements do not contain a liberal change in control definition (which could result in payments to executives without a change in control occurring) or excise tax gross-up provisions. Additional information regarding the CIC Agreements is provided under “Narrative to Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — Change in Control Agreements” on page 88.

  96. Long-Term Disability Benefits

    Long-Term Disability Benefits As part of the Company’s general benefits program, the Company provides Long-Term Disability (“LTD”) coverage for all benefits-eligible employees under a group policy. As an additional benefit, each NEO is eligible for Executive LTD coverage, which provides a maximum monthly benefit of up to $10,000. The combined maximum LTD (group LTD and Executive LTD) benefit is up to $28,000 per month. Additional information regarding Executive LTD benefits is provided in footnote 2 to the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 76.

  97. Severance Policy

    Severance Policy The Company’s severance policy provides separation pay upon an involuntary termination of employment as part of a Company-wide policy available to all U.S. employees based on tenure at the Company with a minimum amount of separation pay depending on job grade.

  100. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

    1In addition, for 2025, Mr. Campbell received payout of paid time off in the amount of $9,538 as required by California Law. 2The amounts reported in column (e) for 2025, 2024 and 2023 represent awards of PSUs and RSUs, which are consistent with the grant date fair values of each award computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Please see column (k) in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” on page 78 for the closing price on the grant date for 2025 awards. The amounts included in column (e) for PSUs were computed based on achievement of target level performance as the probable outcome of the performance condition for each award. As described in “CD&A — Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation — PSUs” on page 68, payouts for PSU awards can range from no payout to 200% maximum payout.

    1The values in columns (d), (e), and (f) are based on multiplying a 0 (threshold), 1 (target), and 2 (maximum) multiplier times each NEO’s annual incentive target award percentage. If threshold performance is achieved, each NEO could receive a payout based on multiplying a 0.50 multiplier times their annual incentive target award percentage. The actual annual incentive award earned by each NEO for 2025 performance is reported in the column entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the “Summary Compensation Table”. 2As described in the “CD&A — Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation — PSUs” on page 68, payouts for PSU awards can range from no payment to 200% maximum payout. 3The base price of 2025 RSU awards is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of each RSU award was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The base price of 2025 PSU awards and the grant date fair value of each PSU award were computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 based on achievement of target performance. Please see Footnote 20, Stock Based Compensation - Performance Share Units, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions used in this valuation. 4 In connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Campbell received a one-time equity award on October 1, 2025.

  123. STOCK VESTED IN FISCAL YEAR 2025

    1The value realized on vesting was determined using the closing price of our common stock on the vesting date (or prior trading day if the vesting date fell on a weekend or holiday). 2These amounts represent the value of PSU awards granted in 2022 that, in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, became fully vested in 2025. The performance ranking for these awards exceeded the median performance of the peer group which resulted in a final payout amount of 137% of target shares awarded. 3This amount includes the value of outstanding RSU awards granted to Mr. Meier in 2022, 2023 and 2024 that, in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, became fully vested in 2025 because Mr. Meier is retirement eligible. Payouts in respect of these awards will continue in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule, subject to full payout in the event of an actual retirement from employment (in compliance with Code Section 409A). Accordingly, the amount of compensation actually realized upon a payout will be based on the then-fair market value of the common stock and may differ from the amount set forth above. 4This amount includes the value of outstanding RSU awards granted to Mr. Campbell in 2024 that, in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, became fully vested in 2025 because Mr. Campbell is retirement eligible. Payouts in respect of these awards will continue in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule, subject to full payout in the event of an actual retirement from employment (in compliance with Code Section 409A). Accordingly, the amount of compensation actually realized upon a payout will be based on the then-fair market value of the common stock and may differ from the amount set forth above. 5This amount includes the value of outstanding RSU awards granted to Mr. Nair in 2024 that, in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, became fully vested in 2025 because Mr. Nair is retirement eligible. Payouts in respect of these awards will continue in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule, subject to full payout in the event of an actual retirement from employment (in compliance with Code Section 409A). Accordingly, the amount of compensation actually realized upon a payout will be based on the then-fair market value of the common stock and may differ from the amount set forth above.

  128. PENSION BENEFITS

    1Although Mr. Demmings has been employed by the Company since 1997, his service outside the U.S. is not recognized for Pension Plan and Executive Pension Plan purposes. 2Mr. Nair is not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan or Executive Pension Plan.

  129. The Pension Plan

    The Pension Plan Eligible employees hired by the Company prior to January 1, 2014 were generally able to participate in the Pension Plan after completing one year of service with the Company. Employees hired by the Company on or after January 1, 2014 were not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. Mr. Nair was not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. The lump sum value of the benefit is based on the participant’s accumulated annual accrual credits multiplied by their final average earnings, but is not less than the present value of accrued benefits under the prior plan formula. Final average earnings is defined as the highest average annual compensation for five consecutive complete calendar years of employment during the 10 consecutive complete calendar years immediately prior to the plan freeze date. As set forth below, annual accrual credits are measured in percentages and increase as participants reach certain credited service milestones.

  133. The Pension Plan

    The present value of accumulated benefits as of December 31, 2025 is determined as the lump sum value of the benefit based on the participant’s accumulated annual accrual credits and final average earnings (limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code), which were frozen as of February 29, 2016, and are not less than the present value of accrued benefits under the prior plan formula as of December 31, 2000. The normal retirement age for the Pension Plan is 65. Benefits are actuarially reduced for any payment prior to age 65. Participants may immediately commence their benefit at termination of employment or they may elect to defer the commencement up to age 65. A participant becomes 100% vested in the benefits after three years of vesting service. All of the participating NEOs are 100% vested. If the participant is married, the normal form of payment is a 50% joint and survivor annuity. If the participant is not married, the normal form of payment is a life annuity.

  140. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

    1As of December 31, 2025, Messrs. Meier, Campbell and Nair met the requirements for retirement eligibility (age 55 with 10 years of service). Accordingly, their voluntary retirement would be considered a retirement and column (a) “Payout if Terminated Voluntarily 12/31/25 Not Retirement” would not apply. Because none of the other NEOs were retirement eligible as of December 31, 2025, the column entitled “Payout if Terminated Voluntarily 12/31/25 Retirement” does not apply to them. 2The values in this column reflect an involuntary termination for reasons other than for cause. In the event of an involuntary termination for cause, the same amounts would be payable except the NEOs would not receive a pro-rata vesting with respect to their ALTEIP grants.

    3These amounts assume accelerated vesting and/or exercise of all or a portion of unvested equity awards on December 31, 2025 based on the closing stock price of $240.85 on December 31, 2025. These amounts also reflect accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control of the Company and pro-rata vesting in the event of death, disability or an involuntary termination for reasons other than cause (with the exception of Messrs. Meier, Campbell and Nair). PSU amounts are computed based on the achievement of target level performance for each award. Because the ultimate number of PSUs earned is not determinable as of December 31, 2025, no dividend equivalents are reflected. For Messrs. Meier, Campbell and Nair, the values in column (b), (c), (e) and (f) reflect accelerated vesting of unvested equity awards granted prior to 2025 and forfeiture of equity awards granted in 2025. This is due to Messrs. Meier, Campbell and Nair meeting the requirements for retirement eligibility as of December 31, 2025. For all NEOs, values in column (d) assume a hypothetical corporate change in control. 4Executive Pension Plan benefits are payable only as a lump sum payment and as soon as administratively feasible following termination (in compliance with Code Section 409A). 5This amount includes the Company’s contribution to the Executive 401(k) Plan made in 2025. 6This amount represents a one-time lump sum payment by the Company that equals the value of Company paid premiums for the medical, dental, life insurance and disability plans as of December 31, 2025 for 18 months based on the individual’s benefit election (in accordance with Code Section 409A). 7Under the Change in Control Agreements, if payments constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Code Section 280G, the payments would be reduced only if the NEO would receive a greater net after-tax benefit than they otherwise would receive with no reduction in payments. The amounts shown in column (d) above reflect no such reductions. 8This amount represents the Company’s best estimate of the costs of outplacement services for an NEO.

  145. CEO PAY RATIO

    CEO PAY RATIO To provide the ratio of the total annual compensation of our CEO to the total annual compensation of our median employee in 2025, we used the same median employee who we identified in 2023 since there has been no change in our employee population or compensation arrangements that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change to our pay ratio disclosure. We identified the median employee for 2023 by ranking the total cash compensation, including base pay, overtime and cash incentive pay, for all employees, excluding our CEO, who were employed by the Company as of our determination date of October 1, 2023. We used the following methodology, consistently applied across the entire global employee population, to rank our employee population to determine our median employee: •We included all U.S. and non-U.S. employees, employed on a full-time, part-time or temporary basis such that the calculation covered 13,468 employees as of October 1, 2023. •Actual base pay during the period October 2, 2022 through October 1, 2023 was used for all participants. No compensation components were annualized. •We included overtime pay and cash incentive compensation, including shift differentials, referral bonuses, “sign-on” bonuses, and commission incentives paid during the period October 2, 2022 through October 1, 2023. •For the non-U.S. population, a 12-month average of the monthly exchange rates (October 2022 - September 2023) was used to convert all foreign currency payments to U.S. dollars. •We did not rely on any other material assumptions, adjustments (such as cost-of-living adjustments) or estimates (such as statistical sampling) with respect to total cash compensation for purposes of employee ranking. Our median employee was determined to be a full-time, U.S.-based employee. After identifying the median employee, we calculated the annual total compensation for such employee using the same methodology we used for our CEO as set forth in the 2025 “Summary Compensation Table” found on page 76. For 2025, we estimate that our CEO to median employee pay ratio is 268 to 1, the annual total compensation for the median employee was $56,767 and the annual total compensation for our CEO was $15,221,983. Our 2025 pay ratio is intended to be a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules. Given the different methodologies that various public companies use to determine their estimates of pay ratio, including the different assumptions, exclusions, estimates and methodologies allowed under the

    3 PSU fair value is calculated by taking the current year projected performance adjusted number of shares times the current year closing share price. RSU fair value is calculated by taking the number of shares times the current year closing share price. 4 PSU change in fair value is calculated by taking the current year projected performance adjusted number of shares times the current year closing share price less the prior year projected performance adjusted number of shares times the prior year closing share price. RSU change in fair value is calculated by taking the number of shares times the current year closing share price less the number of shares times the prior year closing share price. 5 PSU change in fair value is calculated by taking the actual number of performance adjusted shares times the vesting date share price less the prior year projected performance adjusted number of shares times the prior year closing share price. RSU change in fair value is calculated by taking the number of shares vested times the vesting date share price less the number of shares times the prior year closing share price.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Stock Performance Graph” in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. The Company changed its peer index from the S&P Multi-Line Insurance Index to better reflect the Company’s current mix of businesses after its multi-year transformation that included exiting preneed, health and life insurance-related businesses. The S&P Multi-Line Insurance Index TSR was: 2025 - $232.84, 2024 - $193.97, 2023 - $179.40, 2022 - $159.88 and 2021 - $145.78. 8 Represents the net income as disclosed in the Company’s audited GAAP financial statements. 9 Represents a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure can be found in Appendix A hereto. The fair value of equity awards is determined in a manner consistent with that disclosed in consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K. The portion of the PSU awards that are earned based on Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share are valued at the probable outcome of the performance condition and the Company’s closing share price at each measurement date. The portion of the PSU awards that are earned based on the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the S&P 500 Index are valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model at each measurement date.
