Peer group, and who names Magnera as a peer
Companies that benchmark against MAGN
2 companies name MAGN as a compensation peer
- Mativ Holdings, Inc.MATVFY2025
- MERCER INTERNATIONAL INC.MERCFY2025
Each company listed discloses MAGN 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 MAGN 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 2025
The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Peer reciprocity
The companies Magnera Corp names as compensation peers that name it back in their own disclosed peer groups.
