Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
The objective of the corporate compensation and benefits program is to establish and maintain a competitive total compensation program that attracts, motivates, and retains qualified and skilled workforce. The structure includes pay-for-performance elements designed to align the interests of named executive officers and stockholders, with a meaningful portion of compensation being at-risk and provided in the form of short- and long-term variable or performance-based compensation and equity awards tied to equity appreciation.

Peer group, and who names Endeavor as a peer
Companies that benchmark against EDR
1 company names EDR as a compensation peer
- SERVICE CORP INTERNATIONALSCIFY2025
- Warner Music Group Corp.WMGFY2024
Each company listed discloses EDR 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 EDR in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2023
The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Peer reciprocity
Of the companies Endeavor Group Holdings names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.
Reciprocity shown where the peer’s own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer’s filing. A dash means the peer’s current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Endeavor Group Holdings.
