Executive Compensation

Some text goes here. As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 99, our executive compensation programs aim to be competitive with our peers and aligned with our business strategy and corporate objectives. Our compensation philosophy emphasizes a pay for performance culture focused on the long-term interests of our shareholders. We believe that this alignment between executive compensation and shareholder interests will drive corporate performance over time. Additionally, the Company maintains strong governance and pay practices, including meaningful share ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers, clawback policies that apply to short-term cash awards and long-term equity awards, “double trigger” change in control benefits and performance of an annual compensation risk assessment by our Compensation Committee.

For purposes of the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") and executive compensation disclosures, the individuals listed below are referred to collectively as our "Named Executive Officers." They are our President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer as of the end of fiscal 2022 and our three other most highly compensated executive officers, based on fiscal 2022 compensation.

| Named Executive Officer | Title |
| Fred W. Bock | President and Chief Executive Officer |
| Audie K. Gale (1) | Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer |
| Florence A. Hood | Executive Vice President, General Counsel |
| Robin M. Murphy | Executive Vice President, Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain |
| Nathan L. Bowie | President, Global Hospital |

(1) Mr. Gale retired as Chief Financial Officer after the completion of fiscal 2022 and was succeeded by James N. Tell in April 2022.
