Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Company's compensation philosophy focuses on aligning executive pay with long-term stockholder value by utilizing a mix of base salary, annual performance-based cash bonuses, and long-term equity incentives. The program is designed to reward performance against specific financial metrics and ensure the retention of key executives through at-risk equity awards with both time and performance-based vesting conditions.

Peer group, and who names Tilray Brands as a peer

Companies that benchmark against TLRY

1 company names TLRY as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses TLRY 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 TLRY in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
