Peer group, and who names Infinity Natural Resources as a peer

Companies that benchmark against INR

1 company names INR as a compensation peer

    Each company listed discloses INR in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named INR in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

    Chief executive pay against the peer group

    Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.

    Each peer’s compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer’s figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
